how do you delete recently posted questions

Which site or app are you asking about? The steps and rules differ.
Quick general guidance:
- Go to your profile -> your posts/questions -> open the question you want removed.
- Look for a menu or link (three dots, gear, “…” or “more”) and a “Delete” or “Remove” option.
- If there’s no delete option, try flagging/reporting the post or contacting site support/moderators and ask them to remove it.
- If the question already has answers, upvotes, or an accepted answer many sites won’t let you delete it yourself — you’ll need a moderator to remove it (or edit out sensitive info and ask for moderator help).
Common examples:
- Stack Exchange (Stack Overflow, etc.): you can delete your own question only if it has no answers with upvotes and no accepted answer and no active bounty. If you can delete, a “delete” link appears under the question. Otherwise flag for moderator or ask on the site’s Meta.
- Reddit: open the post, click the three dots or “…” and choose “Delete.”
- Facebook/Twitter/Instagram: open the post/tweet, tap the options menu (three dots) and choose “Delete.”
- Quora: open the question, click the “…” menu, and choose “Delete” (may be restricted if there are active answers).
If you tell me which platform and what’s blocking you (no delete button, answers present, or privacy/legal urgency), I can give exact steps or template text to request moderator removal.
