Are there any ways to remove all the comments from aspx files only in SharePoint Designer? I found that the Optimize HTML in SharePoint Designer only deal with HTML only.

I am also open to any software that is able to help me to remove all the comments from aspx files.

No. You have to open the files one-by-one and delete the comments. If they aren't accessable through SPD, you have to log onto the server and do the procedure there. – Daniel Ziga Feb 27 '12 at 3:09
@Dandroid, you must be kidding right? I have 50+ files and opening each and every one of them is a pain. – Jack Feb 27 '12 at 6:15

The only hope for you is to use Find/Replace command with a robust Regular expression to find the comments and then replace with blank.

I believe SharePoint supports Regular expressions. As an example, I have written an expression that works for simple one line comments as shown below:

enter image description here

The expression I used is:

\<!--[^(--\>)]*--\>

DISCLAIMER: You need to thoroughly test your regular expression before you perform replace function.
