How do you delete your Yahoo questions?

Why has Yahoo removed the option to delete questions? How to delete questions?

  • earlier you could delete questions upto 2 days nowadays the option is gone as soon as yoyu get 1 answer

  • Answer:

    Probably tying to increase the size of their data base, the bigger it is, more hits when people search, more hits higher advertising revenue. Now, once answered the delete button is removed and you can't delete your questions. Before you have an answer, next to the add update pencil click the x delete button. If you are too late,emailing the YA team is no longer a possibility they have removed the post on the suggestion board. Now, All you can do is hope it is reported as a violation even resolved questions can be removed that way.

Most Likely They Did That So Everyone Gets a Chance To Answer the Question Sometimes People Will Go And Attempt to Answer the Question But Then Once They Go to Post There Answer They Find Its Gone

You CAN delte your question as long as it has no answers. yahoo got sick and tired of good answers being removed fromt the display just because people did not like the answers they got so they deleted the question within 4 to eight days before it could go into voting for best answer. Since voting for best answer was terminated on April 9. it was time to update HOW Answers are deleted. as part of the COMPLETE updating of ALL the computer programs that had been running YA for ( YEARS that had MANY "eternal" glitches that many people seem to have completely forgotten about. like Community moderation breaking down EVERY year OR the appeals systems breaking down. The appeals system is still having the digital equivalent of "hiccups"

I used to be a top contributor in math and homework help section. I solved 100s and 100s of highly advanced and difficult problems that no one else attempted. Many times the asker would delete the question after I posted the full solution. I lost count of how many times that happened over the years. But despite it I still kept going and going Maybe because of cases such as mine the option to self delete was revoked. But it's too late now. Over 90% don't choose BA anyway. If 2 points is all that's left then the asker should be allowed to delete now This change should have been implemented when voting existed. My estimate is that at least 4000 of my math answers were deleted from 2007 to 2014. I was the only answerer in all of them. So I was denied about 40000 points at minimum However now there is no reason why asker shouldn't be able to delete. There is no more BA. As I've stated its too late to enforce such rule I hope Yahoo lifts this rule of no deletion if answered
