    You can't. Unanswered questions can be deleted by clicking on edit button select Delete. You cannot delete answered questions. Make questions Anonymous if you want to hide your name from the question.

    If the question has already been answered, you cannot delete it. However, one solution is to search through your questions for situations where all the answers are violations of the community guidelines. If those answers are reported and removed, then the delete option will be enabled.

    All you have to do is click on the blue edit button to delete the question. However, you need to keep in mind that we are not allowed to report content that does not violate the community guidelines.

    There is no way to do that. Once questions have been answered they can no longer be deleted.

    You can't as questions can only be deleted if unanswered.

    You can only delete a question if there is no answer. You must first click on the question to open a new page. There will be a blue box with the word "edit" with the "update", "make anonymous", and "delete" options.

    You can't if they have answers because they are part of Yahoo searchable digital database of personal knowledge and life experience. One of the reasons you cannot delete old questions with answers is you cannot violate the civil right of access to free press or the copyrights, unregistered or registered, of the people who answered your questions. Deleting question to remove answers people don't like di not remove the questions from the digital database. All it did was remove the questions from the YA display. falsely reporting answers to get them removed from the display backfires when someone appeals and the answer is restored, or suspended email account is reactivated, as many as 7 times..
