Forgive me for chuckling while reading this question, but you don't really understand the Usenet, do you? It is technically not possible to edit/delete an upload/post on Usenet. On the contrary, your upload/post will even be distributed among all providers/backbones and will remain available for as long as the retention of the providers/backbones (most major backbones have a retention of +5000 days).

The only possibility you have to get a post/upload be deleted is to raise a DMCA/NTD request with every provider.

Thank Tensai75 for your answer I know this is a long shut but from here http://wiki.killfile.org/projects/usenet/faqs/cancel/ I understand that there is a "cancel" command that may be of help I copied the relevant section at the end of this post

and also If I posted these files with the command line --obfuscate and random poster and the files that was poster have 2-120 parts for example from NZB file

Thanks

I'm not sure CANCEL is working with all provider and probably not replicated. once posted, your file stays. that's the principle of usenet... like email or a text message, once sent, you can't delete it...
