Hi @Kumar, Pilli Pradeep (Citco) 

It's not possible to track deleted comments in Jira. You can only see when a comment was deleted and by which user.

As an alternative to track deleted comments, you can try Issue History for Jira app developed by my team.

Hi @Kumar, Pilli Pradeep (Citco) 

As @Jack Brickey mentions, not possible. Just like deleting a Jira work item, once deleted, they are gone for good.

Hence why you never delete a work item and why in the permissions you take the delete comments from everyone. And leave that for admins only.

But there is a changelog API you can check:

https://xxxxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/changelog

You can check the deleted comment body and the user who deleted the comment.

Hi @Kumar, Pilli Pradeep (Citco) , welcome to the Community. Unfortunately no you cannot. You should see something like this when deleting a comment.
