Deleting Comments
TL;DR
Delete your own comments or, if permitted, comments left by others on items you created. Deleted comments are permanently removed from both the item's activity stream and the global stream.

All users can delete their own comments. Additionally, if users create a task, folder, or project, they can delete other users' comments on it. Deleting comments may be restricted by the user's access role or the user type permissions.
You can delete your own comments that you leave on tasks, folders, or projects as well as comments that other users leave on tasks that you created. Once you delete a comment it completely disappears from the stream of that task, folder, or project as well as from the global stream.
- Hover over the comment you want to delete.
-
Click the delete icon that appears in the upper-right corner of the comment. 1
-
Confirm your decision by clicking Delete on the pop-up that appears. 2
The comment is immediately deleted.
Tip
You can also delete comments from the Stream.
It's most likely that your access role in the current task, folder, or project restricts you from changing comments. You can ask the owner of the work item to update your access role or delete the comment for you.
The same goes for deleting other users' comments in tasks, folders, and projects that you created. Your access role in the parent work item or the whole space might have been changed and the ability to delete comments was restricted.
