Deleting comments

Remove a single comment or all comments from a piece of content using the delete action.

Considerations

  • Permanently deleted: Deleting a comment also deletes any comments that were replies to it. It is not possible to restore deleted comments.  
  • Moderation: While comment moderators are not able to remove posted comments, rejecting a comment that is in moderation results in its deletion.
  • Notifications: Deleting a comment does not send a notification to the comment's author.

Who can do this?

Delete a single comment 

  1. Go to the content that has the comment.
    • For Microblogs, comment options are not accessible from the Microblog Posts widget or Microblog channel; you must go to the post itself. To get to the post from a Microblog Posts widget or Microblog channel, select  Action next to the post, and select View Post.
  2. Scroll down to the comments section and find the comment.
  3. Select  Action, and select Delete
  4. When prompted, select Ok.
