A answer that is not that well received or the one that got tonnes of downvotes, should it be deleted by the answerer ? As such answers don't add any value to the question for the future visitors! Recently I wrote an answer https://math.stackexchange.com/a/1755277/309526 , turns out that my high-school level knowledge wasn't complete related to the subject and now I feel that I should delete it , because as per the comments it is just a misguiding answer , but at the same time as answers are community property I'd like to discuss whether such answers be deleted or not?
Over time, you will get to know what makes for an answer that gets few downvotes or none.
blame it to my poor english comprehension skills $\endgroup$ – brainst Apr 23 '16 at 17:38
