Is there any way to delete or remove poll?

[cafter]

Roughly a or 2 month ago, I had started a poll, and as I received some responses, I decided to delete it.

But, I could not found any options to delete or eliminate the poll. The only options available were to edit the poll or lock it.

Within the "edit poll" option, I found the following Screen, I tried to check if poll deletes or not by saving without inserting any texts:

You can edit poll but you can not delete it.

But probably if it is self-moderated, I do not know if it can be deleted or not. I am only referring to the threads that are not self-moderated.

Edit: if it is self-moderated, you can not also delete poll. I have just tested that and I was not able to delete self-moderated poll unless the whole thread is deleted.

You cannot delete a poll, you can only edit it. If your thread is self moderated then to you cannot delete the poll nor the thread. I know that mods can delete a thread but I am not sure whether they can delete a poll on a thread.

 I guess @act has provided the answer for you. Well, it's better to lock the thread if you feel you must close the subject.

Referring to the information at https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Posting#Poll_Options, Moderator can delete polls.

-snip- All board moderators can modify polls and do the above actions, as well as view the results of the poll at any time while the poll is running. Moderators can also remove polls and lock voting.

So, the only thing you might try is to contact the Forum Staff or Moderator to delete the poll you created.

As far as I know, members cannot delete threads themselves. Maybe you mean what was deleted was the content of the thread?

You are right, no one can delete his own topic unless the topic is edited. In a self-moderated thread, only other people's posts can be deleted by the OP but the OP can not delete his own topic unless he edited it. I have corrected it. Both poll and topic can not be deleted but edited. Admin and moderators can do that.

Edit is not delete. Delete is not edit.

Q: How do I delete/lock my own thread(s) when I no longer need them?
A: On the top right of your post is a delete button. You can delete threads if nobody has seen them. Otherwise, just click "Lock topic" link at the bottom left.

I test with one topic in Beginners & Help; Bitcoin discussion boards but I can not delete two threads.

You cannot delete your own topics in this board.
