Code that has been commented out should be deleted.

"Commenting out" lines of software code is a way of disabling the code while leaving it available for human reading. Final versions of computer programs do not include any "comments."
Note from asker:
Thanks for your help and explanation.

neutral Ken Cox : not quite: final versions of software often include comments, but the asker's text says that code that has been disabled by commenting it out must be deleted
