You can delete any Guide Entry that you created by clicking 'Edit' (or the pencil symbol in the Brunel skin) in your list of Entries and then clicking the 'Delete' button near the bottom of the page.

Danny B Posted Sep 30, 2003
I've just tried it in Plain skin and it seemed to work for me. This is what I did:
- Find the 'My Most Recent Guide Entries' list at the bottom of the user page
- Click 'Edit'
- Click the 'Delete' button at the bottom of the 'Update Guide Entry' page
Let me know if that's what you've tried or if it still doesn't work.
Are you using a Digibox? If so, I may have to find more expert help..!

I think it may be a popup asking if you are sure you want to delete the article. Digiboxes can't handle popups. So you will be prevented from performing the operation. If that is the case, it might be an idea to ask Jim Lynn if he could remove it from the plain skin - just as the logout confirmation popup isn't used in plain skin.

There is definitely a popup confirmation window on the delete button when editing an article. So digibox users won't be able to do it. Your options are:
1. Go to the local library, internet cafe or similar and log into your account from a PC (need to remember your password of course) and delete them from there.
2. Give a trusted friend with a PC your account details (*not* on site) and let them do it for you. You should change your password afterwards unless you plan this to be a long-term support thing.
3. Beg the italics to help.
4. Simply empty the contents. If there are no threads attached you would be able to re-use them anyway.

Brora,
There's always Option 5 - click links to delete the articles! 
Warning: No confirmation box will appear, and, on clicking each of these links, one article will be deleted. These links will work only for you. You can easily undelete the articles by clicking the appropriate link on <./>MA217159?type=3</.>. Only you and h2g2 Editors can see the articles on this list and/or undelete them. Everyone else sees the error message "You cannot view the cancelled entries of another user" on trying to view that page.
A961607 - to delete, click <./>UserEdit961607?cmd=delete</.> logged in as your normal account.
A964596 - to delete, click <./>UserEdit964596?cmd=delete</.> logged in as your normal account.
A946325 - to delete, log in as U204011 then click <./>UserEdit946325?cmd=delete</.>. You may undelete this article later by logging in again as U204011, viewing <./>MA204011?type=3</.> and then clicking the appropriate link.
I can't make a remove link for A204011, as this article doesn't exist.
I hope that helps! 
Rho
