    You can only delete the question if you do not have an answers. But, keep in mind that once you put up a question it is sent out to many different search engines & websites. No question is ever really deleted. Same with the image you put up.

    The type of question you want to ask if considered chat & not a real qustion. While many people do ask this type of question they are often reported and removed. That means you will lose you points.

    1) As mentioned by others, you can only delete your question if it has no answers

    2) Asking if you are pretty or ugly is a violation of the rules here

    3) You can't report your own question, despite what you've been told

    4) Getting reported enough by others will delete the question, but you will lose 10 points

    5) If you get enough violations, you can get suspended here

    You can only delete your unanswered questions. Use the EDIT button to delete it. Sorry, but if it has an answer the EDIT button no longer shows the DELETE option and you cannot delete your question.
