Return to Question

I asked a question related to a course I was taking. I followed all the Stack Overflow rules, and I got a useful answer. But it's coming to the end of the [grading period here], and my professor has warned us that anyone who tried to get outside help with our coursework will be [punished/expelled].

I realize now it was a mistake to ask that on Stack Overflow, and I want to get my question deleted. I tried to delete my question but learned I can't delete it if it has an upvoted/accepted answer (or I deleted the question after I got an answer but someone undeleted it). I tried to edit it out, but the edit was reverted and a moderator locked my post!

I don't have time for any strategy other than deletion because they will be checking soon and they might find my question and punish me!

Please, I'm sorry! I just want my question deleted! Why won't anyone help me?
