I have (hidden) comments inserted in various cells throughout my spreadsheet. When I attempt to delete the comment, the mouse turns to an hourglass and then freezes the entire spreadsheet. I don't believe it is a problem with my PC, cause I've transferred the spreadsheet to an alternate PC to have the same problem appear again.
 

Excel Facts

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
You could try doing it with a macro (can't say whether or not it will work :-

Sub Delete_Comments()
Selection.ClearComments
End Sub

Select the cell(s) first then run the macro.

(Note: I got the code from the macro recorder.)
