How do I delete a thread?

Hello. I'm kind of new here and I've been looking for a way to delete my thread but I couldn't find one.

Only moderator(s) of the section can delete your thread, including the global moderators. Report your thread using the report button on the lower left side of your post (looks like this) and just state you want your thread deleted with the reason.

Yeah I have tried that but it gives me an error which states that I cannot post links.
