Installed this program and it got rid of them painlessly without affecting the approved comments. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fac6a79b185120e2fad4a03b3eeee4803fe34121fe4e5e76d528f54f60f3e506? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Easy to use, does what it says – great for dealing with spammers](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-to-use-does-what-it-says-great-for-dealing-with-spammers/)󠁿 [Daniel Delos](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alteritydan/) September 3, 2016 Does exactly what it says. No problems. Dashboard > Settings > Delete Comments ( check) Delete pending comments (check) Delete spam comments (check) Delete trash comments –> Submit EzPz. I don’t have comments enabled at all but still get thousands of pending spam comments on all of my sites. Since WordPress only allows deleting 20 at a time, that’s never going to happen without a bulk delete plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/59b26ac78278602a7713660a234e6fde00b1092644b0cf3673fe0608bda4c0ba? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Absolutely Perfect!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/absolutely-perfect-37/)󠁿 [Jon York](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jon-york/) September 3, 2016 Just installed it to delete 1,400 spams – and it took care of them in almost less than a second! You can choose which categories of messages you want to delete, and I chose “pending” and “spam”. They were removed while leaving the approved comments in place. Thanks so much for making this very useful plugin! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ba6d3540aaffbf26854fe16da8f44c9785d7a888ca94e65b9f3a60f6f26b6dba? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great!!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-4400/)󠁿 [maremmaonline](https://profiles.wordpress.org/maremmaonline/) September 3, 2016 Perfect, simple, useful! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7995a3bf07a790cf4db68ab46310f9e8a0b2fe1c74134fa78d4c4e81e459bc31? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-3142/)󠁿 [ladysaat](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ladysaat/) September 3, 2016 Brilliant! 55,000+ comments of crap gone in less than the who seconds!
