New feature - manually delete a poll
Issue #1
new
Request from Josh Devenny. A room had two identically named polls because someone closed the first one before people were finished voting. Josh would like to delete the closed poll to prevent confusion.

I had thought there was supposed to be when looking at https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/polly/src/4b6eb786077ae4401e89bee7217ac5008a25e70e/routes/index.js?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default#index.js-625:666 but +1 to Wiktor that in practice, old polls don't seem to be deleted even a week later. I had to just uninstall/reinstall to wipe out the old polls :P (we use it for a weekly poll to pick a conference talk for playing at lunch)

They seem to be deleting out for me after so long. We've used it the last few weeks to vote on pizza toppings and it looks like they are deleted automatically after a week.

Closed polls are automatically deleted after 1 week.
This is the behaviour that Caleb is seeing. Wiktor and Katherine, you just need to close your polls.

/poll delete "poll name" would be a great add on though...

+1 to /poll delete. +1 also to Katherine - I'll be uninstalling / reinstalling regularly. We poll many things, often.

There's even a PR open for this feature: https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/polly/pull-requests/2/add-a-command-to-delete-poll/diff
Can we get it merged already?

IMPORTANT NOTICE Regretfully, changes in Polly's hosting mean that it will be shutting down in August 2017. In order to keep it running I would have to invest significant time, which I simply don't have. Thanks for using Polly, and I hope that it was useful.

EXCELLENT NEWS
Polly's hosting arrangement has been saved, so you can keep polling to your hearts' content. There will be no shut-down.

Is there an automatic deletion of the polls already in place? We seem to be retaining all polls forever.
