Deleting a post or page
From the Mange > Posts or Manage > Page page within the Admistrative back-end:

- Press the Delete this post button below the post editor and extra features (Optional excerpts, Trackbacks, Custom Fields)
Removing a comment
From the Comments page within the Admistrative back-end:
- Press the Edit button beside the comment you wish to remove
- Press the Delete this comment button within the Advanced region; below the comment editor
