    It depends on whether or not the question has been answered, if it has been answered, you can't delete it even if a BA hasn't been chosen yet. We used to be able to delete our answered questions, but this option has been removed. What you can do is go to the pencil (or Edit button depending on your format version) icon beside it and choose the "make anonymous" option so at least your username and avatar are removed from it. This is especially useful if your question is embarrassing.

    If the question has no answers, go to the pencil (Edit button) icon beside your question and choose the delete option. By the way, if you're on mobile, you need to switch to desktop first. On an aside, the only other way they may be deleted is if they're reported as violations.

    You can only delete your unanswered questions. Use the Pencil icon to bring up the DELETE button and click on that. Sorry, but if it has an answer the DELETE button no longer shows and you cannot delete your question.

    You can only delete a question if there is no answer. There is a blue box with the update, make anonymous, and delete options.
