Deleting my old SQL statements

I have a number of old unpublished, and most likely non-working practice SQL statements. Is it possible for me to delete them?

You can blank them.

Ineuw (talkcontribs)

Unfortunately, blanking them does nothing. On reopening the page, the SQL statements are still there

Did you click Submit Query after blanking?

Ineuw (talkcontribs)

Now, that makes sense! Thank you. Happy holidays.

Again, Returning to mention that I cleared the SQL and submitted the query as told, but the empty queries remained on the list.

Achim55 (talkcontribs)

You cannot delete done queries. One can only blank them for to "hide" the used code.

Ineuw (talkcontribs)

Can I request deletion of the empty queries? There is at least 25 practice queries from which which I removed the SQL statements.

You can't really delete any queries - even if you blank them they stay in the database (and we might expose the history at some point)

A better way that I practice is to reuse those old / blank queries instead of creating new ones whenever required. This saves list space on one's history watch list.
