Problem Description

I used the Spyder IDE to submit an issue. I never got a chance to vet the information. As it turns out, it contains details that I do not want on the internet (and don't need to be). I want to delete the issue and submit it from outside of the Spyder GUI.

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. Submit an issue using the Spyder Help pulldown menu

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Actually, I found my way to the Edit button for the body of the issue (before I only noticed the Edit button for the subject line). The non-public detail has been replaced by an anonymized place-holder, so I guess no need to delete the issue. However, I would be interested in how to delete issues. A web search indicates that there should be a delete option under the Notification area, but I don't see one. It may be for the GitHub version of "superusers".

@NotNormallyAGitUser, you said:

Ok, that's really good.

However, I would be interested in how to delete issues. A web search indicates that there should be a delete option under the Notification area, but I don't see one. It may be for the GitHub version of "superusers".

I think there's no way to delete issues on Github. I mean, I don't see any way to do it even if I am one of the admins of this repo.
