It should be possible to delete one's own post without having to give a reason. I was looking at a question that was supposed to include an image, and there was a notice that the image was unavailable. I commented that the OP needed to repost the image. When I went back to the question, the image was visible, so I wanted to delete my comment. I should not have to make it as spam in order to delete it.

Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for posting your question!
If you’d like to remove your comment from the thread, you can report it by selecting “Off topic or irrelevant posts” from the flag icon just below your comment. If you have a further question, please write back to this thread.
Thank you!
Hi @Suzanne S Barnhill ,
As a moderator, you can delete your own content. Just click the three dots on a comment or answer, and you'll see the option to delete :)

I know I can delete my comment. I just hadn't found the "Off-topic or irrelevant" option. I swear I looked!
Oh sorry for the misunderstanding! Yeah, it's best to not choose spam unless it's really spam. So off topic would be the best option as Yuki suggested :) Glad you found it!
As per the guidelines on Microsoft Q&A, users cannot delete their own posts without providing a reason. If you feel that your comment is no longer relevant, you can report it as spam or request a moderator to assist with its deletion. It's important to maintain the quality of the content on the platform, which is why reasons for deletion are required.
