    It'd help if you told us which answer. Have you got a link?

    See: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5221/… for details on when you are allowed to delete your own answer. (can't delete them if you're not registered, can't delete them if accepted)

  • I don't see where in the linked "duplicate" question it explains why we aren't allowed always to delete our own content. :(

  • Stack Exchange owns everything you post, and will never give you the power to completely, permanently scrub embarrassing evidence of your past ignorance or a psychotic episode. Sufficiently empowered users will always be able to access it against your desire to lock it in seven chests and drown it in the sea.
