How to delete a post on this forum

[Ushma Agarwal]

I wanted to delete my previous post how to delete that?

[Clyde Schechter]

You can't. The Forum software does not support deletion of posts. If the question is no longer active because you have discovered an answer, the norm in this community is to add a post at the end of the thread explaining the solution, so that others who encounter the same problem in the future can learn from it. If you have discovered an error in what you said in a post, again, the norm is to add a post pointing out the error and providing a correction, with or without an explanation of how the error occurred.
