Two additional tasks have been completed: deleting posts and comments. Making mistakes happens. When it comes to posting content, we can edit the content. But what if we prefer to simply remove our content, rather than leave it up or edit it out? Being able to delete content can come in handy.

On Steem, if your post or content doesn't have any comment reply on it, nor any upvotes, you can delete it from the active content on the blockchain. You can't delete it from the history of blocks in the past, but you can get rid of it for the future active content on your blog or on a post.

Enabling this feature have utility and is important. We might not use it often, but it can be handy and save us from ourselves in making poor decisions in posting something we regret. Rather than edit a post and have a blank post or some message about a deleted post, you can delete it, if you realize your mistake before any votes or comments are made.

# Deleting posts

To delete a post, open the post in question, and if it's possible, you will see an X icon button at the bottom right of content of the post.

<center><img src="https://i.imgur.com/dvErskV.png" /></center>

If you hover over the icon, it will say 'Del' and turn red. It will also display a title of "Delete post".

<center><img src="https://i.imgur.com/FoIrkuo.png" /></center>

When you click the button, a confirmation popup appears to make sure you really want to delete the post.

<center><img src="https://i.imgur.com/1tJ81gO.png" /></center>

After confirming, the post will get dimmed and a loading spinner will appear while the post deletion is being processed into the Steem blockchain.

<center><img src="https://i.imgur.com/JArQjTJ.png" /></center>

Afterwards, you will be redirected to your main "blog" page and will see the post is gone.

The post deleting was much more simple than the comment deletion.

In order to see the delete option, a check is made for the active votes and the comment count. If there are none of both, then the delete option is possible. The author and permlink are sent in the onClick for the button.

In the Redux action creator, the author and permlink are used to delete the post. Once completed, the user is redirected to their own blog page to see the post gone.

# Deleting comments

To delete a comment, view the comment in question on the post, and if it's possible, you will see a 'Delete' link at the bottom of the comment.

<center><img src="https://i.imgur.com/4KkiPp3.png" /></center>

When you click the 'Delete' link, a confirmation popup appears to make sure you really want to delete the post.

<center><img src="https://i.imgur.com/KwuUaGh.png" /></center>

After confirming, wait about 3 seconds and the comment will disappear.

Getting the comment deleted starts off in the same way as the post, but gets more complex to remove it from the view in the app without a page refresh or refetching all the comments again. Refetching the comment data would have been quicker, and maybe it's less resource demanding as well.

The author and permlink are sent to the Redux action creator to delete.

<center><img src="https://i.imgur.com/9SRZdR7.png" /></center>

As you can see, there is more code here. First, the comment is deleted from Steem. Then, if successful, if the comment is new and was just added and wasn't part of the original page load, a quick check is made in the `commentPayload` object and the comment is filtered out.

If the comment isn't there, then a look is made in the comments that were part of the page loading to look into the nested comment and recursively delete them.

<center><img src="https://i.imgur.com/JqovUoN.png" /></center>

This brings us to the recursive function, where all the replies are dug into to try to find the comment we want to delete. If found, it's filtered out.

- # Eye Candy on Post Actions

There has been some eye candy animated efect added for the post actions, which include deleting a post.

Edit a post will show an edit icon, and hovering over it will animate the Edit text.

Delete a post will show an X icon, and hovering over it will animate the Del text.

Adding a post to a community will show a + icon, and hovering over it will animate the Add text.

# Additional Tasks

I am adding these tasks to indicate the upcoming work I will be engaging in at some point and in no particular order:

- ### Transferring ownership of a community
