How do I delete something on Quora?

To delete something on Quora, you will want to log into your account and locate the item you wish to delete. Once you have located the item, there will be a “Delete” option that you can select. Clicking this will open a pop-up window that will ask you to confirm your decision to delete.

Why can’t I delete my question on Quora?
