I’ve decided that I want to delete my reddit account. I want to remove all of my posts and comments first. What is the best way to do this? I’ve had the account for several years so it would be too tedious to delete everything individually. So far I’ve tried the Redact android app, which did not work when I signed in. I also tried the browser extension Bulk Delete Reddit, but it can only delete up to 50 posts or comments per day. Is there any other option?

    Keep in mind they will bring some stuff back, slowly and sneakily, so my advice is keep the account for a while so you can keep an eye on (and control over) your stuff. If youre in the EU send them an email gdpr request to delete your data. When they invevitably reply with the copy pasted “click this link to read about how you can delete your posts and comments” simply answer back that it is legally their responsibility to do it and youre not doing shit. Tell them if they dont comply you will be lodging a formal complain with your country’s data protection officer (again, if youre in the EU), as I did when they brought back some deleted content for the third time.
