How do I self-delete a post
Suddenly I'm inundated with dupe posts. But when I open 1 to delete it, I can't find a way. This leaves my with no action other that to erase the content but leave up the post "container." Do you know how to delete a post?

(116,496 posts)because they can click to see the earlier unedited post. See below for instructions to use the Powers button to completely delete the post and close the post to further responses.

(120,390 posts)It's in a row of three boxes: Alert, Share, and Powers, which are above the row of Edit, Rec, and Reply boxes. Maybe there are different mobile presentations depending on your device.

I prefer that to getting the self delete message because I can give a reason.
On edit: And when I've posted something to the wrong thread (which I somehow manage to do periodically) I can later edit the post if I have an appropriate reply.
