After an "active" presence of a little more than one year on AU, I was looking through my answers, in a votes- sorted order. Browsing to the end of the list, I came to the "zero- activity" section; not accepted, no votes.

In some cases, I considered the answer potentially useful, some could have been useful but wherewere very specific and unlikely to become useful to someone else, some answers were definitely outdated, and some, well, I wouldn't have posted today. I decided to do a small clean up.

However, after five posts I got the message that "I deleted five posts and more removing was blocked".

So my question is:
Is it not done to clean up your own list of posted answers?
