What do the 'delete' and 'close' options I see under a question do?

I am a normal user with ~1700 rep.

I see a delete button under questions and answers (if I wrote them or not). When I mouse over it turns red and gets bigger.

I see a close button under questions and answers (if I wrote them or not). When I mouse over it stays grey but gets bigger.

What happens if I click one? Are these voting buttons or will clicking them complete the action even if I am not a moderator?

As of right now, nothing. It has been requested that they not show if a person can't use them, but I am not sure where that is on the list of priorities for development.

Seems like I also have a restore option, once I deleted it. I did not try that. I am leaving post deleted for you to see and do with as you please.
