Can't delete comments

It seems that there is no way to delete a comment you have made in the forums, but if you post something by mistake, or wants to remove something because it is no longer relevant this feature should definitely be present. 

In a post I made I created a hierarchal structure with "header comments" and nested replies. Now that we no longer have that structure the header comments are entirely useless and I'd like to remove them, but can't. Is this something that can be added - after all it's my own posts/comments - I should be allowed to delete them if I choose.

    JesLet40  By "post," I meant any comment in the thread, either the original post or a reply.  And as I said, you can report anything (of your own) you want for deletion.

    JesLet40  I think the problem is that once a post has replies, it can't be deleted.  I have the Delete option on some of my posts, but not ones where another user has replied to me.

    What you can do for now is empty the posts, then report them for deletion using the Report button.  It doesn't count as a strike against you or anything like that, and the community managers have the tools to make posts disappear.

    It's not the post I want to delete, but the comments.
