Hi Goodmahsa,

I'm afraid it's not possible for you to completely delete a post once it is made. However, by using the edit button, you can revise it. Many members get around the problem by removing all the text and replacing it with the phrase 'deleted - moderators please remove'.
If a moderator happens to see it after that, they will delete it on your behalf.

Alternatively you could contact a moderator (including a link to the post you want removed) directly. We are all happy to help.
