A post or comment can only be deleted when it has no vote or sub-comment. They are not really deleted from the blockchain as they are still recorded in the [TxComments](/technical-informations/operations/txcomments.md) table.

When a post or comment is successfully deleted, it is removed from the [Comments](/technical-informations/state-tables/comments.md) table.
