Delete content on Microsoft Q&A

  • บทความ

The Q&A code of conduct sets the standards for the site content. Moderators can delete any content that doesn't meet these standards, to keep the site healthy and help users find the answers they need faster.

Important

Instead of deleting an answer that you think is unclear or incomplete, you can use a comment to request more details or clarification from the answer author. This way, we can show our appreciation for the users who share their knowledge and time with us. Another option is to share a different answer if you know one.

Prerequisites

  • You need to be signed in Q&A.
  • You need to be a moderator in Q&A.

Limitations

  • You can't delete your own content. If you feel your content should be deleted, you can report it and a moderator can delete it.
  • Deleted questions don't appear in the question or tag lists.
  • If you aren't a moderator, you can't see any indication of a deleted answer or comment.
