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! 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: ![]() 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! If you aren't sure how to delete comments on your own profile, please check: How do delete MySpace comments. Also, while I'm at it, I have a lot of additional MySpace Help here, and you can also become my friend by checking out my MySpace profile.

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??? Posted by: myspace UC101 at March 24, 2007 4:13 PMTHANK YOU sooo much!!

Do I have to enable comments to be seen? I am on a Mac. Posted by: Larry at December 26, 2007 2:26 PMHowever, this doesn't seem to work on comments you leave on blogs... :/ Posted by: Dizzle at February 2, 2008 5:58 PMdon'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. Posted by: corrine at February 13, 2008 8:53 PMI think this may be limited to profiles that have there comments to be posted without approval because I just tried this without success.
