What happens after I delete my account on here? What happens to my questions? Does everything get erased or does it stay here. If it doesn't completely get erased, how can I completely get rid of my account, questions and answers, everything? Is it possible?
Maybe I should ask, is it possible to wipe clear everything, all your questions and answers on your account and start over?
Also, what happens to the questions of mine that don't have best answers yet, will they get best answers if I delete my account?

The questions stay. You can delete your account, but the questions will still be in the Y!A database.
Not possible to get rid of them.
The only other worthwhile tip is you can change your user name. Then delete the account. If the user name lasting forever isn't something you want...

If you don't want others to see your Q & A,you can change your settings to PRIVATE by clicking on "Edit my info". Others will not be able to see your Q & A. You can block all your contacts/remove them.
Even if you delete your account, your Q will remain.
Why don't you post this Q under Y!A category?
