The word "delete" has been around in similar form since its Latin origin which meant to wipe out or destroy entirely. Early books and written history, as that's all there was in the long long ago, used its more modern definition. As per Webster, to blot or cut out, would have arrived at this point as proper usage. And while this wasn't part of my research into this, I'd lay odds when the printing press was invented, it became more a common term to be used. Part of this answer is found in researching the word "typo" and "@" to their origins. "@" is actually a surprisingly ancient...
Anyway, I'm sure this isn't entirely accurate, but I'm no scholar... Just a Google exploitation extraordinaire.

How do delete bankruptcy after the 10 years?
Delete is probably the wrong word. What you are asking is how long bankruptcy stays on your record and it usually stays for 7-10 years (sometimes more, sometimes less). Because you filed ten years ago, you should be seeing the majority of the negative effects go away. Also, you should be proactive and work on establishing credit, saving, etc and that will certainly expidite the process.
