Hi Niamh,

It doesn’t look like we have the tools to do this. I found this discussion on the Discourse forum:

We don’t have that ‘trashcan’ item amongst our edit tool icons. There is also this discussion where the Discourse people (Jeff Atwood) explain that there is a problem deleting topics because people who posted comments will lose them. They recommend ‘flagging’ the topic instead, so that the forum mods can decide.
