How can I delete a question?
Questions should not be deleted so that they are available to other participants.
I know. But in case I want to delete a question, how would I do it?

Click on your post you want to delete so that the thread is open. At the bottom of the post will be several icons including a link button (share link), three dots (show more), and a pen button (for editing). Click the three dots and then you will see a trashcan icon appear (delete topic). Clicking the trashcan icon deletes the topic.
As was mentioned, donât delete a topic unless there is absolutely nothing to be gained by others from it, for example if you accidentally posted a question about something entirely unrelated to LibreOffice.
The point of forums like these is to be able to find solutions to problems rather than asking the same questions over and over, so even seemingly âdumbâ questions with simple answers can help others.

Yeah, Iâm aware on how these kind of forums work and sometimes a small part of a huge solution is useful. However I made a very specific question and the comments keep going around something I didnât asked so I canât see how it can be useful. Notice that the solutions proposed can be found with a simple google query and that âsolutionâ doesnât apply.
Under the question, there is a list of tools. If you donât see a trash bin, click on the ⌠icon/link to expand extra tools.
Be aware that questions are not really deleted. They are hidden and any user can request question contents by clicking on the âpencilâ tool to access question edit history.

What if I donât have the trash bin nor the three dotsâŚ? Maybe because of my user level?
This is likely. Youâre at Trust Level 0. See this link for the definition of trust levels. This is the official Discourse site and does not reflect AskLO customisation. However, the general privilege rules hold.
