How to batch delete comments with replies

I am trying to delete sticky note comments. However, if the sticky note has a reply, I have to delete the original comment then I am left with the reply and have to delete that after. Is there a way to just delete both at the same time?

Finally, when I sort by comment type, I cannot delete all of them even if I select them all. The "Delete" option is greyed out.

Can someone advise on the two above issues?

Both of these things can be achieved using a script. Although deleting a parent comment manually should also remove its reply, I believe. Same goes for deleting filtered comments...

Deleteing a parent note only removes that parent note but the reply stays and becomes its own separate note. When I filter comments by "type" and then select those to delete, Adobe selects all comments regardless of what I filtered them by. Is there a fix?

As for the script, is there a script that I can use already or do I have to formally request one?

Thank you

- Re deleting a comment with a reply: Yes, you are correct. That is odd behavior.

- Re deleting filtered comments: It works fine for me. Which version of Acrobat are you using, exactly, and how are you selecting and deleting those comments?

Scripts are developed by third-party developers (such as myself), usually for a fee. It's not something you can request from Adobe.
