Deleting Post Drafts

Is anyone else having trouble deleting their drafts? I've now tried on an ancient ipad mini, a brand new iPad2, and a middle-aged MacBookPro. When I select a draft, it opens instantly, giving me no time to use the right corner X to delete it.

    I have run into that problem, Judi.  I can’t remember what I did to make it work except to sneak up on it!

    I have not found a way to do it.

    On a Mac and PC, I select "My Drafts" from the menu in the upper left (I only see it when I actually have a draft saved.)
    Clicking that brings me to a list of my drafts. If I hover over one--but don't actually select it--a black x appears in the upper right corner. Click the x and the draft goes poof.

    @ScottG , thank you for this post........I had no idea it was there.  I found a post that I wrote out once in the past and it had disappeared.  I knew I had saved it as a draft, but had no idea where to find it.  Spent a bunch of time re-typing the post.  Now I know where to go if that ever happens again.

    @ScottG Are you hovering with a mouse? On the iPad, I had to almost touch the spot where the X would be appearing only after I touched the words, then actually touch the X and words simultaneously. It required multiple efforts on some of them. But they’re good and gone now. Thanks all!

    @Bayless, you are welcome. Glad it helped!
    @jgram2, yes, I am hovering in with a mouse, and it works the same way with a track pad. However, from what you describe, it appears to be a little more challenging with a touch screen (such as on an iPad). I'm not real hip, so I generally work with a mouse and keyboard.  :-/

    @ScottG -- thanks for this!  I was just now trying to delete one and couldn't figure it out.  Following your instructions, I found I had several drafts to remove!
