How do I remove comments from a Modern Ui Page

Hi   If a blasphemous comment is added to a Modern Ui Page - it would need removing ASAP.  How do I do this.  I don't want to stop all comments.  I just want to remove the blasphemous one.   ...

Have you tried to disable comments feature in page edit mode?

    Hi jcgonzalezmartin Yes, but I don't want to disable comments.  I just want to remove the offending comment from the page.  There could be 5 - 10 other comments which are OK and I want them still to be displayed. I still want to allow new comments to be added.

     

    Regards

      Upss, I think this can only be done (if possible) by trying to delete it programmatically from the comments store used for modern SPO pages (no idea how to do it)

        Hi jcgonzalezmartin This is the problem - Microsoft between before Christmas and Now they have removed the Hidden Comments list.  @Egor Tsvetkov had a great way attaching to this hidden list and sending an email out when a new comment arrived.  But he has confirmed (last night) that this hidden list had disappeared.  The comments are now held in some cloud storage.  I can still get to them (via REST) but cannot know when they arrive. -> http://www.vrdmn.com/2017/07/working-with-page-comments-rest-api-in.html by @vrdmn .
