Go to the post you want to delete, click edit then delete. (You'll need to logged in)

You can only delete or edit a post you've made for a set period after you post it. After that it cannot be deleted by you.

All posts ever? Not possible. However you can delete posts that you have made within a 24 hr period. If you want a specific post deleted, then PM the local mod and ask them nicely. It is up to their discretion though.

You cannot. People can only see posts by you if they also have the same permissions to see your posts. For example a private forum. The mass population of boards wont see posts made in private forums, but if User A has permissions to see a private forum also, they will see the posts.
Personal Issue posts as far as I can remember cannot be searched for.

Send a PM to the local mod about it explaining the situation.

If you click on edit, look over to the right hand side. You will see the following

Save - Go Advanced - Delete - Cancel

If you happen to go to the full page editor, the first box at the top allows you to delete the post.
