Should I ask to delete?

I posted a couple thread subjects that no one seems to be interested in any more. Should I ask to have them deleted or do I let them ride?

Thanks

If you want to delete it, then delete it, if no one has posted in the thread.

If someone already posted in the thread, and you still want to delete it (but can't), then edit to erase your OP.

Or, just let it ride to the bottom.

Not sure why you need to ask.

You don't need to specifically ask to have old threads deleted. If nobody is posting to that topic anymore, the thread will gradually drift to pages further back on the forum, and after ~6 months of no activity, the forum software automatically removes the old thread to save space.

Thank you sir; that was the main reason I was asking; I'll just let the system clear it out when it expires.
