Remove your comment history on Reddit as deleting an account does not do so.
I’ve heard Power Delete Suite suggested as a potentially superior alternative, am planning to try it out in a few days time!
With Power Delete Suite you can also edit your comment & post history. Useful for example if you want to change all your content to Fuck u/spez :)

Shreddit and PowerDeleteSuite were last updated years ago. I’ve used redact.dev which can also edit your comments to random strings before deleting them as “deleting” on Reddit doesn’t delete anything but only hides it from public view.
I’m now also doing a manual pass by using a Google search for
“mbirth”(incl. quotes!) followed bysite:reddit.comand a date filter for everything of like 10 years ago and then manually delete all the comments the deletion tools didn’t catch via the API.OP posted the out of date Shreddit. There’s a new one written in Rust that was updated just last month.
Fixed!
Powerdeletesuite also lets you overwrite the comments though not with random strings. I overwrote them all with “fuck /u/spez”
Here is an updated shreddit written in rust. https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit. I used it yesterday and it worked. The only issue is it seems to only process 25 entries at time so you need to run the code in a loop. In bash you can do something like:
while :;do ./shreddit args;doneand kill it once it completes.I updated the main post. Good work!
Haha this is funny. It seems even overwriting the posts as well?
btw
while true; do <shreddit command> ;done
will do it for the 25 post limit

Do you have a link for that!

This is the first time I’ve tried scripts/programs like this. Am I doing this right? I still have my main account left. Just one more to go.
shreddit is a good choice for this job. There are others (can’t recall the names off the top of my head). If you are new to this sort of thing, be advised that you will be granting access to your account when you use these apps so remember to remove the access token when you are done. Of course, if you plan on deleting the account there is less of a concern here.
I love the name
It is certainly hilarious
It only does a handful over time but you can loop it with a bat file. I left it on and deleted ten years of comments. It felt good. :)
