I think i posted something in 'Investing - Theory, News & General' but it's better suited for 'Non-US Investing'.
How do I change it?

Or use the Report post icon, which the ! in the top right part part of the post. A dropdown of reasons for reporting is shown, one of which is 'Wrong forum'.

My sincere apologies, I gave you the wrong icon.international001 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 6:54 amJust did that. But post seems completely deleted.

It should be the ! icon. I've corrected my post and your quote of it. My first cup of coffee is still brewing and clearly I wasn't posting straight.
The button that I did indicate was indeed the delete button, so unfortunately the post is gone. You could check if your browser still as a cached copy or perhaps Google has a cached copy, but unfortunately you will need to repost from scratch. Again my apologies. What was the subject? I'll see if I can find if Google's got it.
ADDED: Check your PMs, I might have found it in Google's cache.

But '!' seems useful only to 'report' the post

"Reporting" means it gets viewed by at least one moderator-type.
There is also a box for you to insert text, such as why you are reporting (e.g., someone else's post), or what you need help with for your own post.
The mods here are really helpful
You can also totally delete your own post using the "x", as long as no one else has posted after you in that thread. The complete post will disappear. If there are subsequent posts, then only the "content" gets deleted.
So when some people have a duplicate and note in the second one "Deleted, duplicate post", in many cases they could have just x'ed out the second of their own post, as long as no one else posts first.
Just one of those handy hints!
