Can anyone advise me on how to delete an old thread. I'm trying to have a "tidy up" and have some old threads I no longer want - how do I delete them?
Many thanks.

Hi Kay, thanks for your help. I have some threads where I've replied to someone elses query, can I delete these or do I have to leave them in the "threads" folder. I'm not very good at computers so appreciate any help offered. Thanks again. Regards

you cant delete someone else's thread .you can go into the thread and delete each of your replies individually BUT its not necessary to delete threads as they arent on your PC they are only in Genes memory bank

You can delete your post within someone elses thread but they are not taking up any space on your computer.

They could also be useful to someone else so I don't bother to delete anything unless it is duplicated info.
