Hi Grace, I asked this question and have been told that you cannot delete them if you are not the owner of the thread. I believe that if you delete your own post on the thread it goes but do not know if this is true.

Threads do not take up any space on your computer, and the info may be useful to other people.....

You can only delete threads that you have initiated. If you have not initiated the thread then you can only delete your own postings.

But why even bother? they are not doing any harm.

What you could do is to add the threads you do want to keep in view to My Bookmarks, and, these don't even have to be threads that you have posted on.
