Probably the easiest way would be to remove the source altogether. Go to Appearance > Editor > Comments and then select all text remove (back it up for later) and save. Thanks, Bryan

You can also turn off comments by going to "Settings->Discussion->Allow people to post comments on new articles". As far as PHP goes: if you're looking to permanently delete the ability to have comments, it would probably be better to delete this line `<?php comments_template(); ?>` from the single page. But, for now, to hide that box add this to your CSS:

.commentswrap{display:none;}
