I'm going to post a new question that may be the duplicate from an older thread that I created, can I delete the latter?

You can delete a thread-starting post (and thus the thread) only if there are no replies posted.

But that begs the question of why you'd want to start a redundant thread in the first place.

It's just information I previously realize wasn't included in the former thread; I could just edit the topic instead of deleting it. It's also a feature I want to know if it's included in this forum and I'm the kind of person who wants to organize posts.

As dasein posted above,
you can delete the later if there are no replies to it.

You can answer your own thread and add that information and whatever else you want to ask. This way you will also have a polite bumping of your thread.
