Why can't I delete my own answers?
I wrote an answer to a question and then realized that I solved it completely wrong, and that I am not experienced enough to answer a question of the type I was attempting to. Unfortunately, that answer is now stuck there and I am getting criticism for it. I understand not being able to delete the answers of others, but why can't I delete my own answers? This doesn't make any sense.

You can't; it's just how the site works.
Explanation:
Basically, one of the moderators has to do it for you. You can leave a blank space in your answer box by editing it, but you can't really delete it.
You can request one of the mods to do it for you. One of them being @Stefan V.
