Deleting a comment in a modern SharePoint page

Question

Is it possible to delete a single comment from the comment section at the bottom of the a SharePoint modern page?

Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

We can use REST API to retrieve comments, and manage comments.

To delete a specific comment from a modern page, make a Delete request to:

https://technet.sharepoint.com/sites/<site>/_api/web/lists(<list GUID>')/GetItemById(<page item id>)/Comments(<comment id>)

A script demo of deleting a comment from a modern page:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(DeleteComment, "sp.js");  
function DeleteComment() {  
    var siteURL = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl;  
    console.log("from top nav - " + siteURL);  
    var apiPath = siteURL + "/_api/web/lists('F0D56E41-B532-4F0D-A5B2-000FDE46B86F')/GetItemById(26)/Comments(1)";  
    $.ajax({  
        url: apiPath,  
        type: "DELETE",  
        headers: {  
            "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
            "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),
            "If-Match": "*"
        },  
        async: false,  
        success: function(data) {  
            alert("The comment Deleted successfully");  
        },  
        eror: function(data) {  
            console.log("An error occurred. Please try again.");  
        }  
    });  
}  
</script>
