   >> so that it no longer shows up when my site is searched. I should have made
   the comment private in the first place. My bad!

 * When a post is made and people contribute answers to an issue, that then becomes
   part of the community resource for others to benefit from. Deleting posts removes
   this added value. Forum topics will only be edited or deleted if they represent
   a valid legal, security, or safety concern.
 * Per the forum welcome at [https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Deleting_.2F_Editing_Posts](https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Deleting_.2F_Editing_Posts)
 * Deleting / Editing Posts
    We reserve the right to delete topics or posts that
   are off-topic or detrimental to the community, however it is not the general 
   policy to edit or delete forum posts unless they are spam, harassing, illegal,
   or outright abuse. We will not delete your post or remove your link just because
   an Internet search for a term brings up the forums before your actual URLs.
 * Users can edit a post for up to 35 minutes from the time of submission. After
   that, the post can only be edited by a moderator.
