Hi @sunsetcity and welcome to Meta Trac.

Meta Trac is designed for reporting issues in the WordPress.org website itself, and not for WordPress (the Software) issues, which should be reported to https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. However, neither Trac deals with end-user support, and instead focuses on developing the Software (and website).

For support, the WordPress.org forums are the best location: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

To answer you directly though; I highly suggest installing an anti-spam plugin, and letting that deal with the spam for you. Most of those will automatically delete spam after a 30-day grace period.

This Documentation article about comment spam may also be of interest.

I'm marking this ticket as invalid as it's not an issue on the WordPress.org website itself, but please understand this is not at all a reflection upon the issue you've run into using WordPress.
