Hi,
Even after emptying wp_comments and wp_commentmeta tables, WordPress might still display old comment counts due to cached data.
To fix this:
Go to Dashboard > Tools > Site Health > Tools and clear the cache if your site uses any caching plugins.
I would recommend this plugin: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/delete-all-comments-of-website/ – it takes care of the deletion for you, including all the other things you need to consider. Clearing the database tables is not always the easiest way.

Hi,
I try to clear all comments by empty the tables
wp_commentsandwp_commentmeta. Buf after that, in “Comments” section, the “All” tab still shows many comments, why?
