When comments are disabled globally using the plugin, existing comments are not deleted from the database. The plugin simply hides all existing comments on the frontend and in the admin area, and prevents new comments from being added.
So if you ever re-enable comments later, your old comments will still be there, nothing is permanently removed.

If I disable comments globally using the plugin, will this also remove existing comments from old posts or just prevent new ones?
