Overview


If you no longer want a comment or reply to appear in a discussion, you can delete it. Deleting removes your words from view while keeping the shape of the thread intact for anyone who was following along.


How to delete your comment


  1. Find your comment or reply in the discussion.
  2. Click the (more options) menu in the top-right corner of the comment.
  3. Choose Delete. The comment is removed straight away and you'll see a Comment deleted confirmation.


Note: Deleting takes effect immediately — there's no separate confirmation prompt, so only click Delete when you're sure.


Things to keep in mind


  • A deleted comment is replaced by a [deleted comment] placeholder rather than vanishing entirely, so replies beneath it still make sense.
  • You can only delete your own comments. The Delete option doesn't appear on other people's comments.
  • Deleting is only available while the discussion is active — once it's closed or archived, comments become read-only.
  • If your comment had replies, the replies stay in place; only your comment's content is removed.


FAQs


Can I undo a deletion?
No — deleting is immediate and can't be reversed from the discussion. If you might want the text later, copy it before deleting.


What do other people see after I delete?
A [deleted comment] placeholder where your comment used to be. Your name and words are no longer shown.


Can I delete someone else's comment?
No. You can only delete comments you posted yourself. Removing other people's comments is a moderation action handled separately.


Who can do this


Anyone can delete their own comments and replies — this applies to every role: Owners, Admins, Managers, Content Managers, People Managers, Instructors, Employees and Restricted users. Deleting other people's comments is a moderation action and is not covered here.
