    You should be able to delete an answer as long as it hasn't been picked as the best answer.

    However, you can only delete questions if it has no answers. Since I've answered this question if you were to try and delete it the option won't appear. Whereas if you tried to delete it before any answers are posted than the option will appear.

    Yes, you can.

    ou can delete a question by using the delete "X" to the right of the edit pencil icon (or the blue "Edit" box on the newer version) 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.
