I remember deleting a bunch of my comments, but I don't know why and I wanted to see what it was I actually deleted. Is there a way to view them?

As far as I know, it's impossible for ordinary users to delete comments on this site, only hide them from everyone but yourself and admins. So you can just go back and view them normally?

How do I view them? When I look at my comments, I only see a few.

tl;dr: In general, I don't think you can easily do this.

A general post comment search (the one that's on your profile), like this , will only show the comments you haven't hidden. Or at least it works that way for me.

If you have "Show own hidden comments" set to "Yes" in the Advanced page of your account settings, and you remember a post you commented on and then hid the comment, and you go back to that post page, you will see your hidden comment with a red background.

If somebody else happened to quote your comment before you hid it, a search like this might help you find posts that you commented on, so you can see if you hid a comment on that post.

I don't know of a way to get a list of all the posts you have commented on, whether or not you have hidden your comment.

(The forums work a little differently. If you use the "Forum Posts" link that's on your profile, which resembles this , you'll see a list of all the forum threads you've posted in. The ones where you have hidden a forum post will say "(hidden)" to the right of the Excerpt.)

Oof, thanks
