Asyn:
In the future, if I find a solution to my thread before someone has replied, can I just attach a message requesting that a moderator delete the thread?
If there have been no responses - You could also use the Modify button in the post, clear the original text and enter == Please Delete == or words to that effect. You could also edit the topics Title (using the Modify button in the first post) to the same effect.
My comment was based on the quoted text, if there are no responses.
If however, the topic is active, e.g. others have responded to it, then it should remain as has been said the information could be helpful to others.
After all this is a support forum.
