# won't trash posts or comments!

 * Hey,
    Really really frustrated, been trying to figure out what is going on for
   WEEKS now. There is very little support in the forums on this topic.
 * My posts will not delete. There are thousands of comments I cannot get to delete
   or to be moved to the trash. I try the bulk action, it says they moved, but nothing
   on the list changes. I go to the individual post pages and press “move to trash”
   it says it does, but there it is sitting the list still…
 * I tried deactivating the plugins and removing all plugins I can – as per the 
   first suggestion on the only other post on this forum in correlation to “wont
   trash”.
 * I am very WordPress “dumb”. So the other suggestions on that support post, I 
   could not even begin to figure out.
 * I really would be open to completely stripping and restarting my whole site. 
   I am running it from my own website host, so I dont know if that’s the issue.
   I am very programming lacking… I’m trying to learn but when I run into these 
   seemingly easy issues that make no sense… I feel useless and when there is as
   little support as there is on this topic… well… I just want my site to be wiped
   clean so I can start using it.

 * Hi there,
 * I am having the same problem. Try to move a blog post to the trash and it won’t
   go – says at the top “1 post moved to the Trash. Undo” …but it is still there.
   So weird.
 * I should say, my posts are on a page (made into a “posts page”)
 * Any luck with this MissXammie?
