Hi, @user_not_found

According to this post (Is it possible to delete a post from Connect? ), you can’t delete a post from Connect. But you can edit your post from the three dots, as per this article, and change the content you have posted.

The problem is: you need to log in first to the account to edit the article you’ve posted (which is you’ve delete it).

According to this article (How to close your Connect profile ), after you close your profile, you can’t re-open it. Closing your profile will immediately log you out.

Long answer short: No, yo cannot delete your earlier post on your previously deleted Connect profile.

So unfortunate.

What @iorikun301 is saying is correct. When you leave from Connect, your Google profile is disconnected from your Connect ID, so that the post become written by an Anonymous user.

When you join again, even if with the same Google profile, a new Connect ID is generated.

In any case, generally speaking, a post in Connect cannot be deleted, but simply edited.

Please check the links shared by @iorikun301 for more details.

Unfortunately is not possible to track back your Connect contributions. If you want to have some help from a Googler like @Bobiisha , you should share first here what you would like to remove. This does’t mean that your content will be removed for sure, because in the posts probably someone replied, or tried to help you, so I think they also should agree for the content to be remove.

As the contents are associated to an Anonymous profile, no privacy concern is generally involved in the posts

You have a chance to restore your account if not more than a few weeks had passed since you closed your account.

Now your only chance is to request one of the Google Moderators to move your old posts to the archives.

You can find a list of moderators here: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/Help-Desk/Meet-the-Google-Moderators/ba-p/928872#M72

Am I missing something, @MortenCopenhagen ?

“You have a chance to restore your account if not more than a few weeks had passed since you closed your account”

@user_not_found didn’t closed his Google account. He left Local Guides Connect.

I know you wrote a post about this subject, isn’t it?

I recall that that there is about a month where you can get back and not loosing your contributions. I might have mixed what is valid for Google accounts with that of Connect.

I believe I did touch on this in How best to leave the Local Guides Program found here.

Cheers
