Hi @nowshin

Once created, you can’t delete your post on Connect.

However, you can modify that if you find you wrote something out of context.

As @C_T said you can’t delete your post on Connect @nowshin . But, If you want to edit your post and add more details or fix the photo orientation, you can follow these helpful tips: Edit your post - Why and How To by @ermesT.

@nowshin The reason for posts not being able to be deleted is basically for accountability. It’s to prevent people from writing bad posts, then delete them later on. Like what other have suggested, you can always edit your post if needed, but even better is to make sure your post is following the guidelines and make sure it’s beneficial for others (and you!) in the first place.

If you need ideas on how to create a good post on Connect, below you can find a few helpful articles:

Hey @nowshin ,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

As fellow Local Guides jumped in and mentioned, you can’t delete a post from Connect. However, there are a few things that you can do if you want your content not publicly visible:

  1. You can edit your post from the three dots, as per this article, and change the content you have posted.

  2. You can tag me or any other Google Moderator and request from us to move the post to the archive of the forum, where no new comments can be added to it and where it won’t be publicly visible. (You can tag by putting the symbol “@” in front of the nickname)

  3. You can report it to us following the instructions noted here and request that the post is moved to the archive of the forum.

Hope this was helpful! With the above said I will mark my comment as a solution for a better visibility in case someone else has a similar doubt. I will also edit the title so it gets more clear what the publication is about. Do let me know if there are any concerns left.
