A site user asked for my advice but requested that the question be deleted as soon as possible because he feared that his friend would see it. Because he was so uncomfortable, I told him in my response to delete the question off his account as soon as possible and that I would change my user settings to not reflect questions that had been deleted by the person asking. I changed my user settings and he deleted the question... But the question still shows up on my advice column. When I checked the status of my questions it says that the question has been deleted, but it still shows up on my column, even when I log out. Do I have to wait a certain amount of time or is this a technical issue that can only be solved my tech support. Thanks for your time. :)
Questions are never truly deleted unless they are stupid or abusive. At that point they are sent via abuse report and a moderator can delete them by hand.
The don't show deleted questions thing is a leftover from the previous site admin that will be removed when I get a chance. (Thanks for reminding me!)
I went ahead and deleted the questions (he asked it to multiple users.)
