You can't delete something posted to the newsgroups!
Your post got sent ot a whole bunch of different places which would make
that job rather difficult in the first place and the second is that the
philosopy of the newsgroups is that you don't delete a post.

http://www.google.com/search?q=cancel+usenet+posting offers a few (!)
alternative points of view. Of course, your news client may not support it,
but some do.

What's up here?

Just bring up our own post that you want to delete, click on "Options"
and then on "Remove" and then confirm. Bye bye post. :-)
It's not rocket science. ;-)

Bob:

The original poster only may delete his/her own posts.

Members who post their own replies may only delete their own replies.

Those who cross post must open their own posts at the other Usenet
newsgroups and delete from that news group.

Mirror sites may not automatically respond and make a deletion that
corresponds to the deletion of the original Usenet news group message.
Google is a mirror site that carries and archives the content from Usenet
news groups. I don't know their current practice on deletions.

You must act within a certain specified time to delete (a matter of hours),
and deletions are not possible after that.

Simply select your post and hit delete in either of several ways. Accept
the command as required on two or so panels, and the post will disappear
from the display.

That certainly doesn't work once someone has accessed their news=20
server and downloaded a post. That "might" work to delete it from=20
your own news server but i doubt that even works since by then=20
your post has been sent to hundreds/thousands of other news servers.
This also comes up on Yahoo groups where someone will delete a post
from the Yahoo site. Problem is that anyone that subscribes to the=20
group via email already has the post in their inbox and nothing
you do on the group site can retract an emailed message.

Many servers ignore control messages. It is best to behave as if delete
never works and be sure you want the whole world to read your article.
