I know how to edit a post but the option seems to indicate that I can also delete my post if I change my mind...cannot find out how, though! Some guidance please

Oh  
Don't you ever get the feeling, "I wish I had not said/written that?"
When you point to the Edit button, It says "Edit/Delete"
Never mind, thanks for the response.

The Edit/Delete button works thus:
You post a reply or create a new post. Until the post receives a reply you can delete OR edit your post. Once it has received a reply however, you can ONLY edit it.

That's what I suspected but, the post I wanted to delete has had no replies and I have tried to delete it without success. Perhaps I am doing something wrong.

I had noticed the Edit / Delete tag before and when i tried a test i can't see how to delete a post as a user. Simply blanking the post results in

Exactly! Thought it was me being silly. Particularly after Darren's post, above.
