You can only delete those threads that you have started. You can do so simply by deleting your first post. However there is no reason to delete them, they don't take up any space on your computer and they might be of help to someone else.

The understanding we all have is that the information on GR is NOT stored on your computer, unless you have downloaded it.

Thus the threads are taking up no space on your computer, and any threads on genealogy (or indeed on non-genealogical items) may well be of use in the future to someone else looking for the same information who is led to a thread on here.

So, much better to leave threads alone, and indeed to also not delete any posts that you have made on threads by other people.

one by one, IF you really feel the need, but leave well alone, threads become disjointed, otherwise....
