What is the correct way to get rid of old unnecessary comments?
---------------------------------------------------------------

I often visit one of my old posts and see that the comments have become "unnecessary", I then want to get rid of those comments.

The problem
-----------

If I want to get rid of an old discussion where I’m the author on some of the comments, what is the correct way to flag the comments?

1. Delete all of my own comments and flag all other comments as "No longer needed".
2. Flag all comments (that are not mine) as "No longer needed" and wait to delete my own comments.

My thoughts
-----------

**Approach number 1:** By doing it this way, the discussion will not make sense if the reviewer decides to keep the flagged comments.

**Approach number 2:** By doing it this way, there’s a big chance that I will forget to go back and delete my own comments.

What do you think is the best way to do this?
