Questions on Answers.com are not meant to be deleted, except for extreme cases. Neither registered nor unregistered users can delete questions - not even their own. Questions that may be candidates for deletion actually go through a review process by more than one Supervisor on Answers.com to determine whether the question really warrants deletion.
Remember that Answers.com has policies with regards to deleting questions. So before deleting a question make sure it can't be fixed to be a proper question. Also, there are several catch-all questions on Answers.com with which we catch inappropriate questions and protect them. Please make sure the question you are trashing isn't one of these catch-alls.
If you have a question that you would like to delete, you can contact Answers.com Support using the Related Link below and ask them to do it for you. They generally delete questions, but on occasion if they feel the question has some value, or can be reworded to be a good question, they'll leave it on the site.
Questions that are harmful and may possibly be asked again by another user are merged into "Catch-All" Questions. Feel free to simply recategorize the bad question into the Catch-All Questions category and then a supervisor will merge it into an existing catch-all so that the next time it is asked the asker receives guidance about why their question is not allowed.
There are more than 1,000 Supervisors who will delete questions that have no value; make no sense at all and can't be re-phrased into a valid question; ask for instructions about doing something harmful; or violate the Terms of Use for Answers.com.
If you are a Supervisor, go to the question you want to delete and check the left side of the screen and you will see a button that says "Trash." Clicking this will send the question off to be deleted.

Normal users should be able to flag questions for improvement, but to have a question deleted, you would have to write to support @ answers.com.
You cannot delete a question or answer once it is submitted. It becomes property of the site the second after you hit submit. The only way a question gets taken down is if it is inappropriate or against the TOS and Community Guidelines.
The simple answer is - you can't ! Once its been posted, a question remains on the site until it's been answered. Even after it's been answered, it stays in the WikiAnswers archive.
Well, unless the question has reason to be deleted, such as it is inappropriate, the question can stay on WikiAnswers. Other people may also have your question.
Click on the "Edit question button" in the blue side bar then remove the text and click on the orange "Save" button..
But this must be done with fore thought.
The deletion of a good answer is an act of vandalism which breaches the terms of use for WikiAnswers.
Such acts will result in the offending users account being blocked.
The deletion of an offensive answer can be deemed acceptable
It's better if you simply click the "report abuse" link above the question, that way the operators can look at the answer and determine whether it should be removed or not. The advantage is that they can also review other answers by the same person to see if they should be removed as well.

Regular users cannot delete questions that they ask. Of course, maybe the question only needs to be merged, not deleted. Supervisors have the necessary tools for merging and trashing questions. Only advanced supervisors and community assistants can truly delete questions. For instance, if you see a question that has a non-celebrity person's name and address, a regular supervisor can move it to the Harmful Questions to Delete Catch-all, and then an advanced supervisor or community assistant can permanently delete it.
So in short, if you ask a question that you don't think belongs on the site, then please contact a supervisor.
No, they did not.
You can edit a mistake in an answer. You cannot delete a question
You should delete a discussion post on WikiAnswers when there is inappropriate information or spam within it.
The two main reasons for contributors to delete an answer on WikiAnswers and save it are to remove "bad" answers or to vandalize.
