    Click edit. Delete is an option if there is no answer.

    You can't delete a question once it been answered. Even if the answer is removed or reported and deleted. Once it has an answer at any point of that question it can not be removed. Disregard what other tell you about deleting your answer it will not work.

    If no one had answered it you would have been able to click on Edit and delete but once you answered it the delete option was removed.

    If it was the question that was a nonsense bunch of letters, it's gone now.

    I reported it for being "not a question"

    Anyway, it's not there anymore.

    IF your question on Yahoo Answers has no answers yet, you can just go into your question and select Edit>Delete.

    IF your question on Yahoo Answers DOES have ANY answers, even if you posted in the answer area yourself, then it cannot be deleted (unless any answers under it are removed by those who posted them). The only way to get it removed if it has answers from others, from that point on, is to have enough accounts report it as a violation, so the system removes it from the display.

    This is probably the single most asked question, over time, in the Yahoo Answers subcategory.

    You have only one answer (your own). Delete that answer. Then you will be able to delete your question by clicking on the edit button underneath your question.

    You can only delete them if they have no answers. Click on 'Edit' beside your question and then delete it.
