    My database export file is loaded with spam comments which are not shown under Comments, because the sending IP address is in my black list. They are however still in the database and I cannot find an option to delete them. How can I do that, and why are they stored anyway if they are marked as spam?

    You could use phpMyAdmin to delete them out of the wp_comments table in your database.

    Please perform a backup before doing anything. See Backing Up Your Database.

    Thanks, I backuped. I am also in the wp_comments table, but I don’t know how to delete all comments which are in my black list. Does anyone know?

    Check the checkbox in front of all the lines that you want to delete… scroll down and where you see what to do “With all selected” – select “drop”.
