As others have said you can't delete them
One of the features of a mailing list is that everyone
on the list has a copy of the email and can keep that
for as long as they wish.

The point of the web mirrors is to provide an archive so
you can search to see if anyone else has already asked the
same question. If it were possible to delete old mails
that knowledge would be lost.

Anything you post to a public mailing list in effect becomes
public property
