The review I tried to delete has been hidden by the system because of a link. Everytime I tried to delete it,It just turn to the front page and the review is still there. When I tried to modify it,a shell window popped up and show me some words: "There was an error trying to process your request: 15" , which drives me crazy. Could someone help me?

It's likely to already have been deleted and that's why you're now getting the error message, as it can't find the message to amend.

I say this because this is how servers work. They propgate data outwards. So especially with times like now when congestion is mad, it's likely to have a situation where you delete something, and it does get deleted, but the server (s) closest to you haven't updated that data yet.

It's similar to how some people put items for trade on the market here, and then can't see it immediately when they search for it.

So, when you try to delete that data, that's when it communicates "further up the chain" and can't find the record, giving you the message.

That's my best guess in any case. So just leave it for a couple of hours and come back to it. It shoudl have disappeared.

Ok try waiting longer. If it's busy you're still likely to receive issues with stuff not appearing.

The coronavirus and everybody being at home is causing issues with things not behaving correctly.

So the best route to find out if there's a bigger problem is to wait until others in your region are not using Steam or are largely in bed.

Try 2am, and if that's not possible as soon as you get up in the morning before you do anything else.

I figured out the reason why it can't be deleted.It's because of that: "This review has been automatically flagged for containing potentially harmful content and the review text has been hidden as a result.".I posted another review to test whether it can be deleted.It seem that the link is the arch-criminal that limits the review. The customer service helped unbanned this review the day before yesterday and it was at the midnight(in China 1:45).As I was sleeping, the limit was automatically put back by the system......˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ I think the customer service may not cancel the limit for me again......(。•́︿•̀。)

Amend your ticket and ask support to remove it for you?

It was about three years ago when I was just a brat
