Allow deleting one's own comments on another person's website

[dcalhoun]

We received a feature request from a user (8973860-zd-a8c) to allow deleting/trashing their own comment on someone else's website.

In a web browser one can "trash" their own comment by clicking Edit → Trash, but this ability is absent in the mobile app. Additionally, trashed comments can be only be permanently deleted by the website's administrators.

Thanks for reporting! 👍

It looks like you can't do that on the web either.

Yeah, a similar response was shared in wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android#21423 (comment).

I could've sworn I was able to delete my comment on the web, but I'm now unable to reproduce that. I'm guessing I confused myself by using a test account that happened to already be a "member" of the site on which I published a comment.

Closing this given it is not possible on web either. We can re-open later, if needed.
