    If you are on mobile change to desk top first, however, unfortunately Yahoo has made

    some changes. Now, once answered the delete button is

    removed and you can't delete your questions. Before

    you have an answer, next to the add update pencil click

    the x delete button.

    If you are too late,emailing the YA team is no longer a possibility, several months ago they

    removed the old suggestion board post offering to consider doing so if questions contained personal info. Now, all

    you can do is hope it is reported as a violation even resolved questions can be removed that way.

    To delete your answers return to your answer before best answer is chosen afterthat you can't click edit just to the right above your answer from the drop down menu click delete answer.

    Once you post a question on yahoo, it cannot be removed once it gets its first answer.

    However, if you are wanting to delete a comment you made on someone else's question, then there is an edit button on the side of your comment with 3 options, Edit, Make anonymous, and Delete.

    All the best,

    And God bless :)
