It appears that it can only be done to some extent.

To delete a comment, select the comment, and click the Delete Comment icon. A comment can only be deleted by its author, and only if there are no replies to it. Comments are not deleted if the associated element is deleted. These comments are marked with (element not in this revision) in the comment title. These comments can be hidden in the comment section by clicking Hide comments on orphaned elements in the filter panel.

I have no idea where the Delete Comment Icon is. Can you tell me?

 If you hover over the comment, there are several icons that appear... one of them is Delete Comment.  I believe this is only available if you are the author of the comment.

Hi Cherifa

If you're referring to the comments widget, it should only be showing "recent" comments.  By default "recent" means 14 days and there is a property in the RM fronting.properties file has this set. 
com.ibm.rdm.fronting.server.RDMRecentComments.query.modifiedsince.duration=14
If you change this, this will impact everything on the RM server an all users and features like Adding comments to artifacts in a module.  So take into consideration how this impacts your RM environment before making any changes to this value.
