  It should be in your Akismet file, which you can find by going to your Dashboard — > Comments — > Akismet spam.

  Did you then hit “Delete this comment?” because if that’s what you did, it’s gone.

  If you marked it as spam and it is not in your Admin => Comments then it should be in your Akismet spam comment list. If you can remember anything in the comment, you could search for it in the admin. It would be bad luck to ‘spam’ the comment and then ironically hit the 15 day “dumping” of Akismet….

  I believe if it’s attached to a post older than 30 days, it gets deleted when manually marked as Spam. I noticed that they disappear as well.

  My problem with spam is that I’m getting soooooooo many. I don’t check in for a day and log in the next and there’s 500.
