    Click on the edit button and then delete on the drop down menu. You can only do this if there are no answers to the question yet.

    IF your question on Yahoo Answers has no answers yet, you can just go into your question and select Edit>Delete. (make sure your mobile device is in desktop mode, if using a mobile)

    IF your question on Yahoo Answers DOES have ANY answers, it cannot be deleted. 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. You cannot edit or change the info you posted, either. All you can do is add updates to clarify it, or make yourself Anonymous (Edit>Post as Anonymous) to hide your identity.

    This is probably the single most asked question, over time, in the Yahoo Answers subcategory. You can save points and time in the future, by doing a search at the top of the page (type in your question or keywords and press "Search Answers"), to see if the question you have has already been asked/answered. How to delete questions has been asked/answered literally thousands of times since the site was created.

    You can only remove your question if it has not been answered. You do it by clicking on the blue edit tab and delete. But once the question is answered the delete option is removed. You could always make the question anonymous so it is not associated with you.

    If it has no answers yet, just open the "edit" icon and go down to "delete question". Simple as that. If it already has any answers, you can't delete it.

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