#### Description

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](https://docs.hivesql.io/technical-informations/operations/txcomments) table.

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