If you'd like to sanitize your account before deleting it I use this method. I use chrome on W10 and I'm not sure if it works with other browsers or OS.

  • ctrl+shift+J

  • then copy and paste:

var $domNodeToIterateOver = $('.del-button .option .yes'), currentTime = 0, timeInterval = 1500;

$domNodeToIterateOver.each(function() {

var _this = $(this); currentTime = currentTime + timeInterval;

setTimeout(function() { _this.click(); }, currentTime); });

To make this work you'll need to be using RES on desktop. Go to your profile and load up all your comments and submissions, I just hold down spacebar until everything is loaded. Once that's done I do the above command and the comments/submissions get deleted one by one.

EDIT: Looks like there's easier/faster ways to do this so go with what works for you.

Or just use Nuke Reddit on Edge. Super easy

There are web sites that help you do this also. They first overwrite all your comments with random stuff and then delete them I believe.
