    The way the format is now you can't Delete a Question it has even just 1 answer.

    You will have to switch to desktop if on Mobile.

    Before an Answer is given to the right of your Question click the pencil and there will be an X to Delete it but that X goes away with an Answer being given and only will show Add Update and Make Anonymous.

    If you are seeing the newest format with Round Avatars to Delete a Question or add Updates on that one click the Blue Edit under the Question and then Delete or Add Updates.

    Clicking the pencil will also have a Make Anonymous choice, you can use that so no one will know it is you if Questions or Answers are of a personal nature.

    If you use the Anonymous option, it will not show your name or avatar, and cannot be clicked to see your profile.

    Anonymous questions will not show to anyone on your profile page, only you will see it..

    It depends, you can only delete questions (old or new) if they haven't been answered, once answered the delete option is removed and they stay on the site unless reported as violations and deleted. If they haven't been answered, you can go to the pencil (edit) button beside them and choose the delete option. Failing this, you can go to the same button and choose the "make anonymous" feature so that at least your username and avatar are removed from them, this is especially useful if your question is embarrassing.

    You can't. Even deleting your account will not remove your content since you gave Yahoo an unlimited license to use it by accepting the Terms of Service. You can change content to anonymous if you don't want anyone to know it is you.

    Sorry, you cannot edit your question once you submit it. However, you can Add Details to augment or clarify your question.

    You cannot delete your question if it has already gone to a vote or if it has been resolved. To delete your question while it's still open, go to the question page, pass your mouse over the pencil icon in the toolbar below your question, and click Delete Question.
