  Hi. Can I remove comments that have already posted on my site? I find them sorta distracting. I don’t mind receiving them personally – but I don’t want them to be visible on my page. I currently have three…..

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Good grief! You created so many threads that are duplicates https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/heroinheroineblog

  You can remove any comments on your site here wp-admin/edit-comments.php

  However, if comments are not approved and do not appear on a site then why would anyone bother to comment at all? They will assume their comments have ended up in the spam filter.

  You can remove any comments on your site here https://heroinheroineblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php
  Hover over the comment and click the Trash link.

  Comments on posts and pages are enabled by default on all WordPress blogs. However, you can enable and disable comments on WordPress.com blogs on this page Dashboard > Settings > Discussion
  That is where you set up defaults for comments and other comment options http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

  You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

  Important Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden. You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

  Or you can make the blog private. To change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings
