Claim
But then he realized he couldn't delete the noted posts,
Correction
On X, authors can delete their own posts at any time; Community Notes can’t prevent deletion.
Full reasoning
X’s own Help Center explicitly says you can **delete any of your own posts at any time**, and that once deleted the post contents/metadata are no longer publicly available.
Additionally, X’s Community Notes program has discussed notifying note-writers when a post they annotated gets deleted—something that would be impossible if noted posts couldn’t be deleted.
Therefore the claim that he “couldn’t delete the noted posts” is contradicted by X’s documented functionality and Community Notes communications.

“You can delete any of your own posts from X at any time.” It also explains that deleted posts are removed and no longer publicly available.
- X will now tell you if someone deletes a post you annotated with a Community Note
Reports X/Community Notes saying contributors will be notified when “a post on which they wrote a note gets deleted,” implying posts with notes can be deleted by the author.
