    Hi Douglas.

    Did you find the gear in the upper right corner? The drop down box has a "Delete Discussion" button.

    Hi @Douglas McPhaden - to delete a draft you'll want to move your cursor to the end of the draft message, then press backspace until the message is deleted.

    @Gordon Collett

    What clip tool do you use? The windows tool is a bit clunky.

    Thanks.

    I found my 2 drafts, but I'm not allowed to read them!! When I click on them, I receive the following information:

    Permission Problem

    You don't have permission to do that.

    HOW DO I GET PERMISSION?

    Based on actions and behavior of posts here, I highly suspect that if these were comments you were going to write to comment on a post, that that original post has been moved, that is, escalated to use FamilySearch's term, to a specific team at FamilySearch to deal with. When that happens, the post is closed and no one here can access it. All you can do is delete your drafts.
