Erasing previous questions?

[Grandpappy]

I'v asked and received many answers and questions and I'm very satisfied with most of the replies: but, my question is " How do I 'empty' my folder or file of past information? Sorry if I appear thick, but I seem to spend a lot of time trying to erase stuff? Cheers,Grandpappy

you don't... it stays in the archive for the assistance of future users who might want to ask the same questions. If individual answers are abusive or something, you can report them so the editor can remove them

Many thanks jno...that's saved me a lot of time and effort. I suppose,on reflection, it's handy to have a reference for future use.
Thanks again, Cheers, Grandpappy
