Hm, I'm trying to delete a double post. All I can see is this "retract" button, after which the post is crossed out but still there, even when I've logged out. What am I doing wrong?

A recent site update replaced the deletion function with the retract function, which does what you describe. With the available functionality, you can edit your comment down to nothing, or just leave it crossed out, as you prefer.

Thank you. I don't understand why this change was considered a good thing, but no matter.
