Ladder game does not start

I don't understand why my laddergame does not start and the time is not running.

Your opponent hasn't been on the site since 16 June. His profile shows an apology so he may be gone for some time. Until he returns and accepts the game, the time control can't start.

Can I delete the game then ?
