What happens if we click delete on our comments page after we have approved the comment?

I'm getting a list of approved comments on my comments page. Under the check box on each one is "delete" in red. If I click it, will it just remove the comment from my page so I'll know I've dealt with it? I don't want to remove the comments themselves from my Whizzleys. I just don't' want already approved comments continuing to accumulate. 

if you delete the comments, they will disappear from your article as well.

To stay on top of your comments, simply mark the ones you've read.
