Delete an idea that was made in error

[Bud]

If an idea was made in error, then it would be helpful if the user could delete it.

• If there aren’t any upvotes, it was created recently, and the status is open, then it should be safe to delete the idea. It’s not like the idea is an established post from years ago…with lots of valuable comments, etc…
• Example: Convert M-enabled ST_GEOMETRY to WKT — using proper OGC syntax

Is there a reason why users can’t delete their own post in that scenario? (Similar to what we can do with forum posts.)

HI @Bud thanks for the suggestion, we will review and get back to you.

Hi @Bud , We discussed this internally, and we do have reasons we do not allow deletion of ideas directly from the author. There may be valuable replies, votes, status updates that would be lost. Since ideas help to inform our product teams, we rather not inadvertently lose possible information.

The process is if you would like to have an idea you created deleted, is to reach out to the community team, either through direct message in the community, or email: esricommunity@esri.com and we will review the idea and determine whether it is okay to remove, or archive. 

Thank you.
