How do I erase old questions from yahoo answers?
I have old questions I no longer want.
Some questions are just there and no one has answered it.
It's a waste for me to ask some questions and no one has answered it yet.

You can't Delete a Question you have asked if it has even just 1 Answer.
Unanswered questions are auto deleted after 7 days, points not returned.
Answers you have given can be deleted as long as a Best Answer has not been chosen.
Switch to Desktop mode on Mobile.
Before an Answer is given click the Blue Edit Tab under the Question and then Delete.
The Delete option for your Question goes away with an Answer being given and only will show Add Update and Make Anonymous.
You can use the Make Anonymous choice so no one will know it is you.
If you use the Anonymous option as you can do at any time,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 no matter what your settings are, only you will see it.

Once a question has an answer you can not delete it. Before it has an answer it is your property and you can remove it. If a week goes by without an answer it is automatically removed.
Once it has an answer if you were allowed to remove the question it would also remove the answer, which is not your property to remove.

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.
