I recently downloaded and installed phpbugtracker. Initially, it looked very good, a good alternative to bugzilla, just php and mysql... but after searching this forum, I realized there is no direct way to delete a bug or edit its description.
Which is really, really annoying. If I can merely understand the reason for the absence of the delete button, I can really not figure out why the administrator can't change a bug's description. Also, I find the comment of Curtis on this topic rather dry.
Why develop such a good tool and then leave two major issues unfixed?

I was looking for an answer on this question as well.
What I do now is: edit the bug and replace the description with "-" and set its status to "closed"

First of all everybody is invited to provide a patch if he/she is so bored by lack of function. Another thing is, guys, if you really want a reasonable answer on such a question, why not register with sourceforge and post with a user id rather than anonymously?
Then I think, for a consistent audit trail bugs should never be deleted if they were once created. Its a philosophy thing of course. Work with statuses. Try it.
These days I work pretty much with Trac, I must admit, because of the wonderful svn integration, but phpbt was my system before and I really found it very appealing. Also in Trac, no bugs are deleted.
