You can't 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.

Sorry, you can't delete answered questions because the option to delete disappears the moment the first answer comes in. We used to be able to delete our answered questions, but Yahoo took away this ability when they introduced the new format.
By the way, if the question has no answers, you can go to the pencil icon beside your question and choose the delete option. Also, if you're on mobile you must switch to desktop first.

You don't.
You can delete a question by using the delete "X" to the right of the edit pencil icon up to the point that there is an answer to the question.
As per the help pages:
Changes to your question or answer
After posting an answer, feel free to edit or delete it up until the Asker chooses a Best Answer. A question can only be deleted before it receives its first answer.
