- Reddit does not have a native bulk delete option to remove all your posts and comments at once. You need to use third-party tools like Redact or browser extensions like Nuke Reddit History.
- When you manually delete posts or comments, they get removed from Reddit but may still be cached or archived elsewhere. Deleting your account only changes your username to [Deleted], it does not remove the content.
- Under GDPR regulations, you can request Reddit to delete all personal data associated with your account. But your publicly posted content may still remain visible.
- Abandoning your account and creating a new one is better for privacy rather than trying to delete previous posts which have already been indexed or cached.
Steps to Delete
Here are the key steps to delete your Reddit history:
- Use Redact tool to mass delete posts and comments based on keywords, subreddit, date filters etc. It’s free for basic use.
- Install browser extensions like Nuke Reddit History on Chrome or Firefox to delete your entire Reddit history in one-go.
- Go to your Reddit Profile -> Posts and manually delete posts one by one by clicking the “…” icon under each post.
- Delete your account if you want to disassociate yourself from your previous posts, but it won’t remove the actual content.
