Hmm, to my surprise, I just found out that I can’t delete the comment, but only “retract” it (which amounts to striking the text through). Two questions:
Did I miss a way of really deleting the comment?
If there is no way to delete it, is there a better way to report the typos than pointing them out in the comments section?
I’m not sure, but I’ll ask someone who knows to respond. (Though looks like you managed to delete a comment below, so maybe you figured it out?)
I think another thing you could do is message the author (go to their profile page and then click “message”), but I think that commenting is also fine. Pointing out typos is an act of community service, so I think that people will be OK with you leaving the comment up!
Hi! For number 1: To delete a comment, simply click the three dots on the upper right side of the comment box, and you’ll see an option to delete.
If you still can’t see that option, please send us a screenshot of the options you see, and we’ll have our tech team investigate further. Hope this helps!
I think Lorenzo is right: when there is a reply to a comment, I can’t delete the comment. Here’s a screenshot of what I see (it’s the same thing when I click on the three dots in this comment I made (which starts with the words “Hmm, to my surprise”)):
Anyway, that’s no big deal! I’ll leave the comment up. Thank you folks for your kindness!

I think you can’t delete a comment once it has been replied to (you can edit it and remove all its contents though)
But you can ask mods to delete it
