Click the Edit button.
Click Delete.
This message will come up in a grey area underneath the message:
To delete this message, check the appropriate option below and then click the 'Delete this Message' button.
Note: deleting this message will result in the deletion of the entire thread because this is the first post in the thread.
Underneath that area Delete Options.
Select Delete Message.
In the bottom right corner of the grey area is a button that says, Delete This Message. Click that and it's gone.

I had the same issue. I made a post a few nights ago and after posting it didn't show up so I reposted it. The next day I noticed I had two posts identical. I tried editing it to delete but there wasn't a spot. The only thing I could change was the text of the post.

Actually, any OP can delete their own thread in entirety by clicking the edit button and clicking the delete thread button.

You're right, I did start a thread like that.
You're also right that you could not find it.
I deleted it. .

I contributed to that thread, my thoughts and ideas that I took some time to type out. How dare you delete the thread without permission of those who contributed?
I think this is outrageous. You have no right! How were you able to even do that?

I've got to admit I find it very surprising that a thread starter can delete a thread…
To be honest I'm not all that comfortable with the thought that a thread starter can just delete someone's contribution at will.

So if may pose this question, What is the value or utility to you of looking up old posts/threads? I would assume that any useful information would be utilized soon after reading.
Early on after joining Bike Forums I copied and filed a few posts for their content and style, but not for years.

...you do realise that everything you post here is temporary, right? I've been here long enough for there to be several server changes during which time posts were lost.
And it won't be long before this forum disappears entirely ... say, maybe, 5 years or 10 years.
If you think what you typed had some "Voice of God" like value, you should have saved a copy of it.

… Comments on a forum, like life, are merely temporary. Like Rowan says... discussions here are like those which might occur in a pub. They aren't doctoral theses.
However, if there are comments I make which I think I might use again, I save them in a file. Then I copy and paste them into threads as desired….

I too am shocked that an OP can delete a thread.
Sometimes I consult past threads for research I or others have previously done on some topic under discussion; and sometimes I see posts that are very well written and thought out and I would go as far as saying they are literary contributions that deserve to be archived for posterity…

A thread about deleting threads is a valiant attempt, and certainly worth keeping alive, but sadly it does not bear comparison with some of the classics in the LCF archives.
