As the title says, how to delete a post on this forum?
I'm afraid I posted a couple of things that can give me trouble during the finals steps of presenting my thesis..
Thanks in advance!

Re: How to delete a post on this forum?
As we only talk here about LaTeX related topics, you would not need to worry about the thesis. It's just about the writing Software, like we would discuss Microsoft Word and how to make a word bold or a footnote in a smaller font. Nothing related to the content of your thesis, nothing regarding scientific work.
It's even good to talk technical things in technical forums to improve tools usage and typographic layout.
A forum is not a place to delete things: people test your code, write improvements or fixes, help with troubleshooting, provide LaTeX information, explain how it works, and then it gets deleted? That's not a way; otherwise, this forum would be pretty empty if stuff got deleted after people worked on it. It's a public forum.
In rare cases, when confidential information is accidentally posted and you can no longer edit it, you can flag it for a moderator's attention (the exclamation mark button "Report this post" at the top right of a post) to edit and remove a specific part that should not be public. We keep the forum content online, but of course we help when mistakes happen.

Hi there!
As it turns out, the plagiarism tool didn't register this site, so no need to worry - I could have also justified the presence of my contents, but no need to
Thank you very much for all your help, Stefan. Hopefully, the reviewers won't demand many changes

I'm glad that it works for you!
Yes, plagiarism checkers' possible false positive findings seem unnecessary, but of course, that's not the case here. If a LaTeX support forum appears with a technical discussion of writing tools issues, then it's not just some work to justify but perfect proof that you worked hard technically on your thesis's code.
Good luck with the reviewers! They may provide good insights from their perspective.
