[FM Discuss] Deleting an unwanted book from My Manuals?

[Micz Flor]

i also agree that deleting content is what the writer is allowed to do.
if it has been copied elsewhere, so be it.

another issue is safety. i have seen situations where people got into
troubling situations due to material they posted on the web. facebook
has the rights to keep all your material - if you want it or not.
flossmanuals / booki might allow people to delete their work if they
feel it is necessary.

just some musings from the outside.
