Can I delete my forum posts?

It doesn’t look like there is a way to delete posts I have made on this forum. I can delete comments but not the original post. Is it at all possible to delete these?

Welcome back!

It’s unfortunate to see good posts getting deleted, especially if they might help others with similar issues and concerns.

However, I understand that sometimes you just want to clean up your online presence.

To really delete something you may need mod assistance.

For that, you can flag your own posts:

A forum user inquires about deleting original posts, noting they can only delete comments, and their last activity was two years ago. (Captioned by AI)

Hi! Thanks for your help! I tried doing this over a week ago but no one has deleted my posts yet. Is there any way to have my posts deleted?

You can always edit your original posts message and just put

[Deleted Original Post] as a placeholder.
