  I’m currently unable to delete/trash a draft post on my site via the admin panel.

  It is permanently placed in my list “All Posts” page.

  How do I completely remove it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Provided you are logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and navigate to Posts > All Posts > Drafts

  http://thepopshock.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post

  Hover over the post’s title and click the Trash link.

  It deleted, but had a 30 minute lag between when I did the action and when it actually trashed the article! Something to look into.

  Hi there,

  Strange indeed! I took a look at your Posts, and I’m not seeing a draft post anymore. Can you see it here? :

  Let me know if you can!

  Cheers!
