Before the APIs are shut down, if you want to wipe your reddit account, I found JavaScript-based account wiper to work quite well and is aligned with security best practices called 'PowerDelete Suite.'

Once logged into your reddit account, drag the red button to your bookmark bar and click it. That initiates the script that will work on your reddit account.

You have options to overwrite your comments before deleting them, just deleting them, downloading your data, etc. Very thorough.

Boot Script Code

javascript:

(

function()

{

window.bookmarkver = '1.4';

var isReddit = document.location.hostname.split('.').slice(-2).join('.') === 'reddit.com';

var isOverview = !! document.location.href.match(/\/overview\b/i);

if (isReddit && isOverview)

{

var cachBustUrl = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite/master/powerdeletesuite.js?' + (new Date().getDate());

fetch(cachBustUrl).then

(

function(response)

{

return response.text();

}

).then

(

function(data)

{

var script = document.createElement('script');

script.id = 'pd-script'; script.innerHTML = data;

document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);

}

).catch

(

function(){alert('Error retreiving PowerDeleteSuite from github');}

);

}

else if (confirm('This script can only be run from your own user profile on reddit. Would you like to go there now?'))

{

document.location = 'https://old.reddit.com/u/me/overview';

}

else

{

alert('Please go to your reddit profile before running this script');

}

}

)

();
