As far as I know, you can only edit a thread, not delete it. You could try reporting your thread's original post and ask if they can delete the thread.

@coockedcow Welcome to XDA! I hope you'll always get the support you require.
A user is not able to delete a thread or a post; you can only edit your posts. Likewise you are not able to close/lock a thread, this also requires a moderator. If you like one of your posts deleted or one of your threads close, please notify the moderators team via the report function. I've by the way moved this thread from forum "Samsung Galaxy A51 Guides, News, & Discussion" as your thread was not related to that device.
Please be also aware that we generally don't delete threads but only close them in order to avoid HTTP 404 errors after search engines have indexed XDA. Such errors provide a poor user experience that we want to avoid. The only exceptions to this rule are spams and duplicate threads; however, latter ones only immediately after they were created.
You might find much more useful information in this excellent guide by our RC @sd_shadow:

I assume that your question is related to your post here.
You are not able or let's say authorised to delete a post; this would require a moderator to do it on your behalf. However, you're able to edit your post and to remove the whole content from your post unless the thread is locked/closed. In my post here, I pointed to the respective "Edit" button but it also shows the "Report" button to alert the moderators team.
However, due to the spirit of XDA to share knowledge and experiences including solution to a problem or issue, I believe it's much better and appropriate to leave your post as it is but to share in it (a via a new post) how you solved your problem.

How to repack payload.bin
Hello all. I haven't posted here for years. My account is still active, but I am no longer allowed to post in specific forums regarding ROMs, so I am asking here. [moderators: sorry if this is the wrong topic. It is the closest I could find...

Anyone Know How To Repack .img Files Into Payload.bin?

The Original Poster (also abbreviated as OP) of a ROM thread very often additionally creates posts no. 2 and/or no. 3 immediately after he created his ROM thread i.e. after the creation of the thread's first post (that is also known as the Opening Post, which is also abbreviated as OP).
If the OP hasn't yet a content for the posts #2 or #3, then he enters "reserved" meaning these posts are reserved for his future use that e.g. could be to add changelogs in post #2 if new versions of a ROM are released.
I hope I was able to sufficiently answer you're question.
By the way, a remark: We only allow developers to reserve posts in their own development thread, and nobody else. This means if you pass by "reserved posts" that don't comply with this condition, please report such a post via the report function. Thanks for your cooperation.

That's great. I'm glad that my explanation helped. Did you already noted this tutorial for threads in the General Q&A forum?
**[TUTORIAL with Screenshots] How to Use New Questions and Answers Threads*

Hi there,
I firstly posted two questions in the original thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-other-directory-than-platform-tools.4536847/
Question 1: would it be possible to adb pull partition (ex. userdata) to any other location than under platform-tools directory?
Question 2: would it be possible to adb pull partition even to an external disk?
Question 1 was solved but Question 2 remained unanswered.
I created a new thread "How to pull Android partition directly to an external disk?" for Question 2, which was deleted by the moderator, under the name of duplicate of the original thread.
I edited the original thread by marking "Solved" for Question 1, and started a new thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...tion-to-external-disk.4537667/#post-87950783, which was closed again by the moderator for the same reason.
After contacting the moderator, he replied
"Creating one or two fresh threads for a question that has already been asked in another thread (but not answered as stated by you) is violative of Rule 5. You can continue in the same thread by bumping it up every 24 hours. You can also edit the thread title if necessary. Please read the Rules and follow them."
But would it be possible to
- remove Question 2 from the original thread by editing it; and
- start a new thread dedicated to Question 2 like the previously deleted and closed threads?
Thanks.
it's the same question. there is no difference between Question 1 and Question 2
Hello and good morning, @wenyendev
I've closed this thread because I can't recognise how the community might be helpful to solve issues or to answer questions you might have with us forum moderators. If the thread was intended to discuss your moderation related questions publicly with the moderators team, please be advised that we refrain from such public discussions in order to protect privacy and reputation of the XDA members.

I suggest to consider to discuss your above questions privately by personal message / conversation with my esteemed teammate @TNSMANI who handled your threads as described by you above. Just as a personal remark: I would have acted exactly the same way like TNSMANI based on the same assessment and had also closed respectively deleted your duplicate threads.

@phrixi Welcome to XDA. I hope you always get the support you require.
However, thread closed as duplicate of the thread that I've moved out of the development forum, for which it didn't qualify, to Android Q&A.
