My question is pretty straightfoward. I flagged this question as a duplicate, but realized later it wasn't actually a duplicate.
Is there a way for me to remove the flag? Or only moderators can do this? Thank you.

Can you retract the flag? Go to the flag pane again, and click "retract flag".– user34899Mar 1, 2017 at 15:46

Frankly it is a duplicate (essentially) and unanswerable anyway. I wouldn't worry, It'll be closed soon enough.– Paulie_DMar 1, 2017 at 15:47

Well, there is a way.
If you flag something and realize that it was a wrong flag, you can again click on flag link.
It will show the type of flag you raised. At the bottom right, there is a button saying Retract Flag.
You can click on it and your flag will be retracted.
But remember, you cannot flag it same as before after retracting.

There was no retract flag button for me at the time. But I now the question was closed as off topic. Mar 1, 2017 at 16:47
