Can I delete a MySpace comment I left for someone else?

I saw your earlier article about Deleting MySpace comments on someone else's profile in which you said that it can't be done. But you're wrong. You can indeed delete comments by choosing "Show All Comments" in their profile, then you'll get a "delete" option for your own. Check it out!

Dave's Answer:

By jupiter, you're right! :-)

Let me show you how I tested out your suggestion and found out that indeed my previous blog entry was wrong and how you can indeed delete comments that you've left on someone else's MySpace profile. And thank goodness for that.

First, I'll leave a comment on a friends' profile by clicking on the "Add Comment" link just above his block of comments:

Click "submit", verify your comment on the subsequent page, and it's there and appears to be under their control, not mine:

The trick, as you so kindly highlight, is to choose "View All" on their profile page. Sure enough, a new link appears:

Notice that the comment I've left has "Delete My Comment", but the comment left by Miss Mones on this profile doesn't have that option. That makes sense, since I shouldn't be able to delete someone else's comment on this profile. I click on "Delete My Comment" and am prompted to verify what I've done:

MySpace: Are you sure you want to delete this MySpace comment?

One click on "OK" and my comment has vanished again. Of course, the owner of the MySpace Profile will get a new comment notice and then won't be able to find it when they visit their page, but I'm guessing that they also get a "Comment Deleted By User" message too, so it won't be too much of a mystery.

Anyway, THANK YOU for correcting this mistake on my blog. There are a lot of MySpace users who are going to be very happy to learn this little trick!

Thank you for showing how to delete myspace comments, but now I have another question, our teenager claims that someone with her password has gone into myspace and changed comments that she left on other peoples profiles, in other words, she said "Hi, how are you" and they added a bunch of dirty words etc. etc. to her comment. Is this possible???

Chieli said, on April 28, 2007 8:41 AM:

I am unable to delete comments from my MySpace webpage. every time I attempt to delete the offending comment I receive an error message, no matter which browser I am using (Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc...) Is there something wrong with MySpace?

catherine said, on April 30, 2007 10:55 AM:

i hope so!

Jim said, on May 27, 2007 11:24 AM:

this is GREAT news! I sent comments which weren't necessarily embarrassing/inflammatory, but the next comments referenced mine and put me in a bad light. Details. So now I've cleared THAT little mess up.

Thanks thanks thanks!

Michelle said, on July 1, 2007 8:52 AM:

I think this problem has to do with my Vista, but I am not sure....Since I got my new computer, I cannot view comments on ceratin people's pages who have special layouts, and the boxes where their info is won't go bigger, let's say if they have a survey in it! It is becoming very annoying!!

My comments are showing but only half of them are showing. Why is this? It's only with some computers though.

Thanks so much. I left a comment on a famous' person's page and it was addressed to somebody else. Thanks so much.

Keep up the good work!

Larry said, on December 26, 2007 2:26 PM:

I keep getting emails saying I have new comments on my myspace page, but they don't show up on the page. Do I have to enable comments to be seen? I am on a Mac.

Dizzle said, on February 2, 2008 5:58 PM:

However, this doesn't seem to work on comments you leave on blogs... :/

corrine said, on February 13, 2008 8:53 PM:

don't feel bad dave, it was actually relatively new that you could remove comments on other's page. it might not have even been possible when you posted but when you were told it was possible it was because it was just created. we still love you dave. lol hugz.

jordan dejonge said, on April 6, 2008 1:47 PM:

I think this may be limited to profiles that have there comments to be posted without approval because I just tried this without success.

Thanks for any help

Mike, sorry to report that as far as I am aware, there is no way you can delete a comment you've left on someone else's MySpace blog. Sorry.

in the past i had alot of scammers using stolen photos . they would email me and tell me anything to get me to like them. so i started reversing email adresses, id get to a point where i had to purchase a complete file on them for a price !!!so i tried it once :( then they didnt have anything. i have another one right now sending me letters and photos that ive seen before. is there a way to reverse email and find out who this is on my own? without paying someone for nothing ?

Cari said, on August 5, 2009 2:34 AM:

Hi there. I have a MySpace page. I have left a comment on an x friends page, but when I go to delete it they have their comments set to private.

As we have had a bit of falling out I am no longer on their friends list and I have blocked them. I can see my comment on the main page, but cannot access the view all option.

I do not wish for this person to be finding me any more through this comment link to me. How do I remove ALL connections through MySpace to this person?

Mandy said, on August 17, 2009 12:55 AM:

Hey Cari, I'm having the same problem... Does anyone know how to do this??? I deleted soemone from my friends list several years ago but my comments are still being displayed on their main page and I hate it! When I deleted her I immediately removed all of her comments from my page, and she was supposed to do the same but never did. And same as Cari, when I click "view all" I get the access denied message.

AP said, on September 29, 2009 7:52 PM:

I have the same problem as Cari and Mandy...how can I have any comments deleted that were posted on a page that uses 2.0? They're private if you attempt to click on the buttons "view all" or "pics" which is where the comments were left? I just want to delete all that I have posted on someone's page. I blocked them, but it doesn't take past posts and such off????

HELP!
