Owners should be able to delete comments

I can’t seem to delete other peoples comments they have left.
I am the creator / owner of the figma file and can only delete my own comments.
Wondering if this is this normal? Why can’t we delete other peoples comments?

The only solution I have found is to copy and paste the frames into a new design file which seems somewhat absurd?

@Figma WE NEED THIS ASAP. BECAUSE the only way to delete previous comments that’s left by others, that are not part of the file anymore, is basically duplicating the project:

Which is a PROBLEM because, once we duplicate the file…

  • There is no way to copy paste the component library to new file without losing the existing “links” between design elements and components.
  • So we need to be able to “fully clean” this file. So we can give edit access to others (and they dont see previous comments)

PLS as file owners, let us delete others comments. (There is no Delete Thread option once we click to the 3 dots next to the comment)

Easy fix!

After so many years its still not possible to clean up files from comments as a owner. Disappointing.

This is an incredible omission in the product, imo

I’d also like to suggest adding the option to delete comments.
There’s currently no way to remove outdated comments, including those left by people who no longer have access to the project.

I've added comments inside the file using account A as a visitor (view only). Using the account B, who owns the file, I couldn't make the comments disappear. Now, the comments are gone from the account A, the one which creates them, but are still visible for the account B and everyone else (which can't delete the comments).

It's annoying and it's harming the project communication.

It's a very simple solution, for god's sake, solve this! Add a comment exclude option for the Owner!
