Please delete this book! (pt. 52) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]

These 2 are duplicates:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to delete three no cover editions of my book that I mistakenly created when trying to upload a new cover. When I try to "combine" there is only one check box for all five editions, so that doesn't work. When I click on "Separate Tool", the system takes me to updates of what my followers are doing. Very strange.
Anyway, my book editions are here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/combin...
and I would very much appreciate some help.
Thank you!

Author is a mix of both author's and translator's names. It has no rating or review.
Correct one is here:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... (Keep)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (Delete)

and recombine with:

These basically need merged. And the series names changed on those, it's now Shadow Hills not Clan of Chaos.

The third one is the newest one. If there's a way to merge all of these?

If you need assistance getting the new and old editions straightened out, please start a new thread. Some things certainly can be done, but deleting the old editions is not one of them.

The duplicated edition has no ISBN or information, no reviews, but has a number of people listed as "currently reading".

I separated mixed record into two editions and cross referenced the books

The following book...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
...should appear under my profile but isn't because there was no space between my first and middle initials and a whole sperate profile existed.
This is my correct claimed profile that should include the listing for The Thief Maker:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Because it took me awhile to figure this out, I had inadvertently attempted to create (twice) an entry for The Thief Maker as I had thought it was missing from Goodreads but really wasn't. So I need the following duplicate and triplicate entries deleted:

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Please contact staff if there are any legal issues with Goodreads records.

it would also be prudent to remove an email address as this in a public forum.
ETA:
On the second look - please contact staff, as I doubt any librarian will revert their changes

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (empty edition)
with the default edition.
Thank you.

This ebook boxset is no longer available. Please would you delete?
many thanks

The series title should be on the book (like the first entry that shows up at that link), but most of the reviews/ratings are on the second one. Ideally we can keep those.
Thank you!

I've screwed up and added extra additions of my book while trying to upload the new cover. Can't get the combine or merge feature to work (only shows one checkbox for all editions to combine).
Can someone give me a hand to get rid of the editions with no cover and make the new cover the one that's front and center?
Thanks *very* much!
