| Jul 18, 2019 at 22:02 | comment | added | fixer1234 | If it was a self-answer, the OP could still see it and retract or change the acceptance. If it was someone else's answer and the OP lacked the rep to view deleted posts (10K), I'm not sure whether they could see it on their own thread. In that case, unaccepting it would probably require moderator intervention to temporarily undelete it. | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 22:02 | comment | added | fixer1234 | Excellent question about deleted answers. Acceptance is at the discretion of the OP, and I don't think it's directly tied to deletion status (although a deleted answer can't be accepted if it's not already). I think I remember seeing deleted threads (the question gets deleted, taking the answers with it), and a deleted answer still showed the acceptance. If I'm remembering correctly, then deletion of an accepted answer would leave the acceptance in place, and there can be only one accepted answer. (cont'd) | |
