The last thing you would most likely want to do with comments is to delete them. We can do that with the following DELETE call: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/{id}/comments/{commentId}

The Node Identifier for the folder or file node to have its comment deleted is specified with the {id} parameter. And the comment we want to delete is specified with the {commentId} parameter.

As an example we will delete the latest comment for the file, which has the cace6ed3-1e57-4690-86eb-d9bce01257cf Node Identifier:

$ curl -X DELETE -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Basic VElDS0VUXzA4ZWI3ZTJlMmMxNzk2NGNhNTFmMGYzMzE4NmNjMmZjOWQ1NmQ1OTM=' 'http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/7279b5c5-da55-4e98-8b12-72d33b90c810/comments/cace6ed3-1e57-4690-86eb-d9bce01257cf'  | jq
