I want to remove a multi line comment in vim:



/**
* Factory for creating [MainViewModel]
*
* @param arg the repository to pass to [MainViewModel]
*/


I tried



%s,/*.**/,,gc


but it doesn't work for multiple lines and



s,/*_.**/,,gc


removes whole content inside First comment's beginning and last comment's ending.
