befor I knew it I somehow sent the message. I went in and attempted to delete it. I haven't checked if it was sent out to all nodes. It was the HAM sub.

FidoNet doesn't have a mechanism to delete messages that have already propagated. USENET has/had that, but not FidoNet. It should/could, but it'd likely be widely unsupported since a lot of nodes run old/unsupported software. So the message would live on no matter what... somewhere.

If you don't have your FIDOIN/FIDOOUT events set up to run automatically,
you can delete a message before it goes out, so long as you catch it before
the events do run.

Once it is out, it is out.
