Short answer: you can’t permanently remove a thread yourself — only site staff can. The replies from , , and point toward the forum’s policy that keeps discussions intact and limits member editing. This is why self-deletion isn’t available as a normal user action. (daniweb.com)

Practical next steps if you need something removed or redacted:

  • If the post is recent, edit it yourself first (there’s a short edit window after posting — acting quickly helps).
  • If the edit window has passed, use the thread’s report/flag control or PM a moderator; include the exact permalink, the exact text you want removed, the timestamp/username, and a short reason (privacy, doxxing, etc.). Be specific about the action you want (redact, replace with “[removed]”, or full deletion). Moderators/admins handle removal requests and will usually redact personal data rather than delete whole discussions unless rules or law require it. (daniweb.com)

What to expect and follow‑ups:

  • Moderators often redact or anonymize to preserve thread context; outright deletion is uncommon unless content breaks site rules or presents legal/safety issues. If the post has been indexed by search engines, removing it from the forum may not immediately remove cached copies — use Google’s tools (for example, ) or the Remove Outdated Content tool to request de-indexing, and check web archives separately. Keep records of your requests and escalate to site staff or legal counsel for urgent safety or legal matters. (daniweb.com)

If a moderator doesn’t respond within a few days, politely follow up and keep copies of what you posted and what you requested; preservation of evidence is important if the issue is serious.

DaniWeb does not delete posts unless they are in breach of our rules. None of your posts appear to fall into that category, sorry.

The Member Rules link is at the top right of every page just above the search box, along with the link to your control panel.

Additionally, the Acceptable Use Policy is linked at the bottom of the forums.
