Delete responses to forum topics 

If you change your mind about a response that you've posted to a forum topic, you can delete it from the discussion thread.


Before starting

Anyone who has posted a response to a topic in a stand-alone forum can delete that response. Forum owners can delete any topic response in the forums that they own, and the Forums administrator can delete any topic response in any forum.

To delete a response to a community forum topic, be the community owner or the person who added the response.


About this task
