How do you delete questions on Yahoo Answers?
Original question:How do you delete questions on Yahoo Answers?I want to delete some of my questions on Yahoo Answers because the answers aren't that helpful to me. Everyone keeps telling me to click on the blue pencil icon to delete my questions but they already have a best answer and I want to get rid of the ones that I have. Is there any ways that I can delete my own questions that I have on the site? Thanks.You cannot delete questions once you have an answer (or a best answer), just like on Quora. However, if no one has replied to your question yet, you can still delete it. The steps are as follows:Step 1: Go to your question. If you are at the home page, click on your name on the left (not the profile picture in the top right-hand corner) and click on ‘My Questions’.Step 2: Click the ‘Edit’ button and press ‘Delete question’. It is found over here:Hope this helps! :)

How do you get rid of resolved questions on Yahoo answers without deleting your account?
From Yahoo Help pages:“You can ONLY delete a question before it receives its first answer.”See: Changes to your question or answer“If the question doesn't have an answer yet, the asker can delete it. Yahoo reserves the right to remove content that we determine to be inappropriate and/or in violation of the Yahoo Answers Community Guidelines or Terms.”See: Reasons for deleted questions, answers, or commentsSo I guess you could report your question as being in violation of the terms. I’m not sure if the moderation process will simply accept that. See: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/answer...

Why is Quora more popular than Yahoo Answers? What elements make it the more popular Q&A site?
A couple of years back, early 2015 I guess, I wanted to know about the basics of big data and its importance in industry.I googled “What is Big data”The first link popped up was Wikipedia - I opened in a new tab and set it aside.The second link was from Yahoo answers. I opened and was looking for some useful information.There were answers like:I was confused, irritated and most of the answers didn’t answer the question.The next link which popped was from Quora.I could find answers like this:Answer was by Balaji Viswanathan (பாலாஜி விஸ்வநாதன்) sir. That is the moment I followed him and read his other answers too! And that was the moment i decided not to refer yahoo answers for anything in future.Unlike Yahoo answers, Why was the answer better?It summed up all the information - technical explanation with real life examplesPictures made it easier for me to connect with answerThe credential “Ran a Big data company” made me believe the answer is from someone trustworthy.Upvotes and comments of appreciation from people in related field made me feel secured about the answerComments were healthy and was debating its future application.So, with no further discussions, Quora is always better than Yahoo answers.
How do you feel about Yahoo Answers?
It is appalling but it was not always that way.In 2006, being fairly new to the web I made a Yahoo! Answers account, mostly because I saw a question on it to which I knew the exact answer - How to remove the radio from a Mercedes- Benz S class sedan. Then I saw a question about car batteries and was able to give a good answer to that. In both cases I was thanked by the askers. At the time, moderation was tough, I had an answer deleted because I put a link to a site that carried advertising.I gravitated to one of the science categories and by 2008 was answering questions about doom in 2012, saying that it was all nonsense. There were perhaps 6 other regulars giving similar answers. By about 2011 the witless teenage humorists and trolls were taking over, you could usually tell by the bad spelling and grammar, but if they were reported by enough users they lost accounts and were seen no more.In the past couple of years though there seems to be no quality control at all. In one category, one user not only insults other users but actually engages in defamation which could be classed as criminal. He frequently accuses one other user of pedophilia and a few others of being homosexual, for which he has no evidence at all. I don’t know how often he has been reported but he is there every day that I look in. Disgusting.
How can i remove my yahoo answer account? and delete my questions and answers?
Go to account deletions, but since the questions and answers are the property of Y!A, they may never get deleted
