Delete all comments
-
As a guest blogger, I now have 7500 comments. I want to trash them all, as none pertain to my post.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can delete these comments in bulk:
- Go to your WP Admin dashboard; you can access this by adding /wp-admin/ to the end of your website address. For example, yours may be something like http://phyllisstewart.wordpress.com/wp-admin/.
- Click Comments in the left column.
Note: You can click Screen Options in the top right corner of the screen to change how many items (comments) are displayed on the page at one time. - You will see groups at the top of the page that allow you to select All, Pending, Approved, Spam, and Trash; select what group of comments you want to work with.
- Click the checkbox to the left of Author to select all comments on that page.
- Click Bulk Actions and select Move to Trash; click Apply.
I hope that helps!

Thank you Geoffrey.
I think my problem is that as a guest blogger on a site, I don’t have true admin rights but can see comments. Do these comments use my alloted WordPress space?R/Phyllis

I apologize for the delay in responding! You may definitely be limited on what you are able to do on a site based on what role you are assigned.
As far as the comments counting towards your space? A staff response to a similar question says they will not.
Only the items in your Media Library count towards the 3GB of storage allocated to a free blog.
