Your question is not completely clear, but it seems that you're wondering why you were not able to delete your flagged post.

Craigslist says, "You can remove your post manually at any time by choosing the delete option." So you certainly should have been allowed to remove this post, and if you were not, it's because of a glitch in Craigslist's programming. (Such glitches are unfortunately not uncommon.) The best way to bring it to Craigslist's attention is with its feedback forum.
