A way to remove a marker of the same type from a file and from books

Hello FrameMaker users!

I am working with a large book (consists of about 100 large files).

After the next revision is released, it is necessary to remove all markers of the "comment" type.

Is it possible to do this quickly without manually deleting each individual marker?

 

With respect, novice user Igor.

    It looks like ordinary Find can do that:
    Find: [Marker - Of Type]
    [Comment]
    Change [To Text]
    [           ] {leave empty}
    Look in ⦿ Book
    [Change All]
