Owners should be able to delete comments

I am the owner of a file and have multiple people as editors.
I was unable to resolve, move, or edit comments in any way.
However, I simply quit Figma and reloaded the file, and it was fixed.
Even comments I had “failed” to resolve had been deleted already when I reloaded the file.

So I suggest force quitting and reloading it. Worked for me.

I have the same issue - I need to be able to delete other people’s comments on the board I created/own.

Hello
I would like to have the possibility to delete others people comments when i’m owner of a file.
Why ?
I try to do some cleanup at the end of projects to make the files lighter, and i’m used to delete all the validate comments.
How ?
Simply add the option “delete the comment” in the dropdown

I have the same problem, and this is VERY SERIOUS because someone that tried to scam me on Fiverr is now mad at me, and they are trying to sabotage me and prevent anyone else from working with me by adding terrible comments to my Figma files. (I did not realize the “view only” access means you can ALSO ADD COMMENTS! That is crazy and very MISLEADING! Any “view-only” option should not allow you to do ANYTHING else but LOOK at the document. (Also, in case anyone is wondering, I had the document set so that anyone could “View only” if they had the link – because I posted a proposal trying to find a new developer, and I have several people looking at my new proposal).

FIGMA please fix this!! SO many people have this problem. You can see that 3,000 people have viewed this page, so this is a testament to how often people are trying to figure this out.

We can easily see that we can “resolve” comments on the menu option list – but we ALSO need the option to completely delete comments for multiple reasons as OWNERS. Many people have not voted on this topic because they probably just were not signed in, OR they didn’t realize they could vote on this topic.

Adding this option is not hurting anything, so why not add it? It is actually giving us an additional OPTION that we need as owners managing these files. PLEASE listen to your customers AND HELP US!

Thank you kindly

In need of this

I’d like to bump this feature too… Owners MUST be able to remove comments from other viewers

Hi, very similar as above, I am cleaning out old comments in a massive project and there are dozens of obsolete comments around by a former employee, who accessed the file using her google credentials which means, it is impossible for us to login on their behalf to delete those comments.

Of course, all of the comments are resolved but we would like to get rid of them entirely, pls.

FIGMA file owners should be able to delete everyones comments!

PLS FIX FAST

This is sorely needed. I have a previous employee who has made lots of comments in our Figma design. But I have no way of removing these now, and he cannot do it, since he is not part of the organization.

I am the admin, and I should be able to remove these.
