1) Haste makes waste – I posted before I was finished
2) Whoops, I posted to the wrong thread!
3) My LF image doesn't look like I wanted ;^(
4) I forgot to attach my image!
5) I shared poor knowledge, and didn't want to mislead anyone
6) My post was angry – I calmed down
7) My post makes little sense, I’m embarrassed
8) What? I didn't know you could edit a post (instead of deleting it)
9) I've never deleted a post. No need to. Here's how I do it. [Please share!]
10) A really good/incredibly bad reason to delete is: [Please share!]
Why did you delete your post?
When you deleted your post, you left the "reason for deleting" box empty.
Now it's time for you to come clear!
Tell us why you did it, especially if it helps others improve their own posts.
And no deleting allowed here ... unless you fill-in the box!
Sorry, couldn't help it. But seriously I don't delete very often, recently I did delete a post I made because I decided it was intrusive. Maybe I should have stated why.

I was about to report your post to the moderators for breaking the rules of this thread! ;^)Originally Posted by Roger Thoms
Which reminds me, "violating forum rules" was an option I didn't include in the poll, but maybe I should have.
So I'll vote #10, and state that it's a really good reason for deleting a post!

I'll also ask – what everyone thinks is the most common "best" reason a post should be deleted.
Come to think of it, this thread just might ease the job of our beloved, overworked moderators.
I delete my posts for several reasons. One not listed was "Didn't notice someone else already posted the same information".
I delete my posts for four reasons, three of which were listed. The one not listed was "Didn't notice someone else already posted the same information".
Damn... that's another one. Another reason is... "I clicked 'reply' rather than 'edit' ". I guess that makes five for me and two to add to your list.
Usually, I'm being honest and saying something that contradicts someone who is sputtering bullshit based on something they read on the web vs. actual experience.

What about deleting Threads?
Isn't, the 'Style & Technique' Forum...
>> For questions about Exposure, Meters, Zone System, or advice on Photographing 'specific' Subjects???
O'oop's... Guess not?

Usually if I delete, it's due to some network glitch that resulted in a duplicate post.
I always like to reread my post after I draft it and before I submit it. Sometimes, after reading, I decide it really doesn't add anything to the conversation. It's not wrong or inflammatory, but it's just not useful given what's already been said.
