In summary, you can delete a topic that you have already posted on most online forums and discussion boards. The process for deleting a posted topic may vary, but it is usually done by clicking on the post and finding a "delete" or "remove" button. Deleting a topic will typically also delete any associated comments or replies, though this may depend on the specific platform. If you have accidentally deleted a topic, you may be able to undelete it depending on the platform's features. Some forums may have a time limit for deleting posted topics, so it is best to check the guidelines or rules beforehand.

This seemed like the most appropriate place to put this question. My apologies if it is not.

After posting you have a 700 minute window to edit or delete, after that it is fixed. You can report the thread and explain why you want it deleted but it won't necessarily be done.

Members are not supposed to delete their posts if they have received a response.
