You can request your data under EU's new GDPR law https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request

They have to send you all your personal data. Once you have your data, you can they use a tool to delete all your data and wipe your comments before you deleted your account. Like Chrome/Edge extension RedditZapper.

Note that it might take a while though, so if anyone wants to get this done before the 30th (so you can use API-based tools to wipe comments), request it ASAP.

I requested...maybe two weeks or so ago? And it only came through today. So get to it y'all

I used Power Delete Suite to overwrite my comments and posts via API, it includes an option to export everything from your account to a CSV before it takes any destructive actions, and it's super easy to use.
