Removing books others added to a List you created

Lists belong to the community and anyone is allowed to add books or vote for them, within the parameters of that list.Personal lists are not allowed. If you want to keep track of books you read as a child, you can create a shelf for them.
(The rules are given on the Create a List page: https://www.goodreads.com/list/new
Lists are public and everyone can vote on them, so don't create "Michael's Favorite Robot Books"—instead create "Best Robot Books" and seed it with your favorite books about robots.)
ahhh, ok. my personal shelf maxed out so I thought lists would work, guess I missed the fine print? Or was this a change?Can I delete or get the list deleted then? I can't seem to find a way of doing that or removing the books I added either, and I no longer wish to be the "author" of a list that has incorrect information.
thank you.
This wasn't a change. Your personal shelf would not have maxed out. If you are scanning them then you have to clear the scan history after 100. If you are adding to the list rather than a shelf, then it maxes out at 100 votes.If you link to the list we can see if it can be deleted or not.

I just liked the look of the lists more!
Here is the list:

Once people have voted on a list it cannot be deleted. I reverted/adapted the changes you made.
I created a list to keep track of or hunt down of books I had read as a child... but other people keep adding books to my list!
Did something change? because I really thought I used to be able to remove their books!
