 * I have a draft post that will not go away, lol.
 * No matter how many times I send it to the “Trash”, it still remains in my list
   of posts as a “Draft”.
 * How can I get rid of it, is there a way to do it manually?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * There seems to be a problem occuring whereas you cannot delete or edit posts 
   or pages. It also affected my passwords. It has to do with the pHp databases.
 * Read through this post, it worked for me:
