I answered my own question then found the solution was incomplete. I unchecked the box and put in a note that I was the author and had moved my comments to the original question. Somebody reviewed the "answer" and tagged it as "does not answer the question". Apparently they did not note that I was the author and indicated it was an edit because it was not the answer. (I could not find an appropriate tag for this question.)
I did not realize I could delete an accepted answer. I must have missed a delete button somewhere. That's all I really wanted to do in the first place.
