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?

    It’s pretty much too late. You can try doing it manually but reddit will not show you all your posts and comments even after you appear to have reached the “end”… there will still be quite a few that just don’t show up in your overview at all.

    It’s so badly designed it isn’t even funny.

      Supposedly Shreddit uses the archive of your data that you can request from Reddit to delete the stuff that isn’t currently viewable but I haven’t tried it first-hand (costs money). If you could feed the archive data into one of the other scripts mentioned in the comments here somehow, that would probably be the most thorough option, assuming you don’t hit an API rate limit.
