    You would have to request those be removed from the search site you used by asking that site to do so. Once Q & A 's are resolved they are the property of Y!A ( something we all agree to when we sign up to use the site) & are used to get others to come to the site when they use Search Engines looking for information. So getting them all removed will be near impossible.

    Even if you make them private here on the site in your profile a search for information on a subject you either asked or answered about can still bring yours up using a Search engine, Since they technically are not really yours any longer.

    To make your Q & A 's private here on the site Hover the [ My Activity ] tab at the top

    click edit my preferences

    go to the privacy section

    & click these 2 options

    On my public profile, hide my Q&A from people who are not my contacts

    On my public profile, only show my Answers Network to my Contacts

    Preview the page & click OK*

    Only the people who work at yahoo answers can do that, why not set your questions and answers to private.
