How do I delete all my reddit posts and comments?
they just handed me another permanent ban because I said I support Iran over Israel.

I dont want to leave free content for them, how do I remove it all?

Edit: created new account after clearing browser cache, but they banned me again.
they do this by using browser fingerprinting and ip.

no biggie - I know workarounds.
Just unplug your modem for 10 minutes - that should get you a new ip. then clear all the browsing cache. New account will work - but make sure not ever login to new account via your phone.

I used "Power Delete Suite". It edits and "overwrites" your comments first, then deletes it, that way if reddit decides to restore your messages, they'll be worthless. That's the idea anyway. It takes a looong while to do so, and it'll probably whine about a few posts that it can't edit for one reason of another.

It doesn't, though. Reddit doesn't just throw away the old comments and they can just restore them if they want. It's happened before.

Unfortunately might not work. Once you're perma banned you are prevented from even editing you're former comments/posts.
