How to delete topic /thread if posted wrongly 

[hconverse02]

You can't 

[Bouzoo]

You can't. Use the report button on your post (triangle below your post) and report it to mods asking that they delete it. Posts can get deleted but I don't remember a lot of threads being deleted unless they were spam bots. Most are locked unless there is a good reason to delete it.

I know it works for posts, had numerous deleted for me, but I've only asked for threads to be locked, never deleted. I do faintly remember a mod (can't remember which one) saying that they usually lock threads and rarely delete unless there is a good reason. I'm sure one of them will correct me if I'm wrong.

Move: use the report button and tell them that you posted in wrong section

Delete: not gonna happen

I made a topic and later requested it to be deleted through the report button and it is still there. I do believe that one of the mods said that they don't do it. Thought  I don't remember the reason why.

Just report it and say you want it deleted and mods should get around to it shortly

@LLEBTNCJD_its_something the moderation and administrator teams can assist the community with the chores of moving/deleting threads/comments to maintain forum liquidity and flow. using the report icon (triangle with the exclamation mark) in the lower left of each comment. leave comment on report on what needs to be done.

Why is there no delete thread option

If the conversation that took place can be of use to others we prefer that the thread be left intact. Also if members had the option to delete threads they could simply wipe away comments they don't like or agree with. This is what the report button is for.

This is one of my absolute favorite things about this forum compared to so many other places. No dirty deletes.

To prevent mass trolling and cyber-bullying.

While yes, doing so to troubleshooting and such threads is just bad behavior. What if someone would have same issue but only sees replies?
