there is no facility to delete a reply you have done. There is only a button to edit it.
Would be useful to be able to delete a reply.
That’d be great in real life too!

hi Angela
Agreed, but until it’s fixed the only option is to edit, delete the text, type oops posted in error (or your own choice of appropriate phrase where the text was, and leave it at that. not ideal...

Hmm, interesting one
As per the community guide you can edit but not delete your posts. It used to bug me on the old platform when people occasionally deleted their posts. Sometimes their post had already been replied to… and suddenly all the context is lost.

Ahhh, is that the reason. Makes sense.
Maybe you could make it that a person can delete their own reply, but not an initial post ?

But then someone might reply to the reply and the context is lost. Sorry for not agreeing with the idea

Maybe PP could make it that you could only delete a reply if there was no further replies after it? (Like you can't edit a reply now if there are Further replies after it )
The one I wanted to delete, I knew I wanted to delete as soon as I put it on.

hmm, how about a compromise, perhaps for example 15 mins when you can delete if it hasn’t been replied to?
I want to back-pedal on my previous reservations on this idea
In fact, why not make it easy? If I edit a post and remove all the content, just delete it… No extra UI needed!
