Dave I was wondering if it is possible to delete comments on MySpace that you left on other peoples pages. I know it’s possible to delete ones left on your page but I can’t figure out how to delete a comment that I left.
I see this question with some frequency, leading me to believe that there are a lot of people on MySpace who forget that comments are actually pretty permanent, not just some ephemeral snippet like a line in an IM chat.
Here’s the bad news: no, once you actually leave a comment on someone else’s MySpace profile, it’s no longer yours to control and you cannot delete it. They can, of course, but you cannot.
This is analogous to you leaving a comment on this blog entry: up until the moment when you click on the “submit” button, they’re your words and you can edit to your heart’s content and even decide to leave the page and go somewhere else on the Web, without ever having left a single thought here or any other virtual digital footprint.
Once you click the button, however, ownership transfers to me as the site owner and I then have control over whether it’s shown, over the words, even whether the link back to your site or not.
In both cases it’s like sending a letter to the editor of your local newspaper: once it’s in the mailbox, it’s out of your control and the editor might opt to edit it, run it as-is or delete it, all without giving you a call or otherwise checking with you.
I hope the comments you have left on the other MySpace profiles aren’t embarrassing or problematic, but unfortunately there’s nothing you can do about ’em at this point.
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.

How do you delete a friend on someone else’s profile?
This is really bugging me I hope someone can give me some explanation. I am working on myspace with my laptop, an Acer Aspire 5050 and when I look at one of my friend’s pages I cannot see their comments. However, if I sign into Myspace on my desktop computer, which is about 5 years old, I can in fact see their comments.
This makes no sense to me whatsoever because I can see the space where they should be on my laptop but there is absolutely no text in there. Weird of what!!
Does anyone know the code that allows you to view the comments, but hide the person that left it?
is there a way of searching all comments made by a person on myspace??
Actually you can delete a comment you left on another persons MySpace. I just did it like 1 min. ago. If you look at the URL of the persons myspace you just posted on it should say friendID=(some numbers) you need to copy those numbers. After you copy those numbers go on to your own myspace and click to look at all your comments. Again look for the space that says friendid= (some numbers) and paste those last copied numbers into that spot then click enter. This should change the comments you were just looking at to the persons you commented on. look for the comment you want to delete and it should say “delete comment” under it. Click it and you done.
I need help.I cannot figure out how to change the text color of my myspace url.I dont want to hide the table I just want to change the text color.please help!Thanks.

You’re absolutely right, Tim. I have an updated article here:
https://www.askdavetaylor.com/delete_myspace_comment_i_left_for_someone_else.html
I just haven’t added the forward link to this article yet! 🙂
Please note that the statement you made up above is incorrect. You can delete comments that you have made on other friends pages. You have to go to their page while you are signed in, go to “view all comments” and there is where it gives you the option to delete previously posted comments. Just so you know.
