In the case you set a bounty for your question and gave it to someone but after trying the accepted answer it did not work: how could you take back the bounty and let the question open again for a useful answer ?

That is not possible: All bounties are paid for up front and non-refundable under any circumstances.

  1. You should have checked the answer before awarding the bounty;
  2. You can flag the answer. That might get it deleted but the bounty is not going to return to you.

    @begueradj - "how can you let the question open again" ... you basically dont accept the answer if it wasnt useful to you. BTW - I'm sure you could have got a great answer to your question. As per my comment on your question, there wasnt any real detail to your question to enable a great answer :(

  • @begueradj the more rep you have the more likely the person can be trusted to give accurate answers :)
