Mass Delete Reddit Comments and Posts

What about deleting all Reddit posts and comments at once? Obviously, you’d prefer doing that instead of deleting them individually. So, here’s how you can do it.

Method 1: Using PowerDeleteSuite

PowerDeleteSuite lets you delete all Reddit comments or posts, or delete them by filtering them out. Here are the filters that you can use :

• Choosing which subreddits to delete comments or posts from.
• Delete posts and comments above, or below a specific score.
• Delete posts and comments made during a specific time.
• Exclude gilded, and saved comments and posts.

The tool was developed by a GitHub user who goes by the username ‘/u/j0be‘, and here’s how you can use it.

Step 1: You will have to manually create a bookmark. We’ll show you the procedure on Google Chrome.

Enter ‘chrome://bookmarks’ in the URL bar. You will be redirected to the bookmarks page. Right-click anywhere, and click on Add new bookmark.

On Firefox: Open the Hamburger menu–> Bookmarks –> Manage Bookmarks –> Right-click anywhere –> Add Bookmark.

On Edge: Press the three dots –> Favorites –> Star with a plus icon –> Right-click the new favorite –> Edit.

Step 2: Provide a relevant name to the bookmark. Paste the following address in the URL field.

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 retrieving 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'); } })();

Step 3: This extension is designed to be used on the legacy version of Reddit, so open Old Reddit.

Step 4: Sign in using your credentials and tap on your username.

Step 5: Enter the overview tab.

Step 6: Click on the Bookmarks icon in the toolbar, and click on the bookmark you just created.

If you see any pop-up message, tap on OK to proceed.

Step 7: Power Delete Suite will open up. Select Delete all Submissions to delete posts, Delete all Comments to delete comments, or both.

You can also make use of filters to delete comments or posts for a specific time range. Click on Process to delete the comments and posts.

However, if this method does not work here’s an alternate way to delete all Reddit posts and comments.

Method 2: Using RES Extension

Step 1: Download the Reddit Enhancement Suite extension for Google Chrome or Firefox.

This extension is designed to be used on the legacy version of Reddit, so open Old Reddit.

Step 2: Sign in using your credentials and tap on your username.

Now, we can delete all comments and posts on Reddit – here’s how you can do it.

How to Delete All Reddit Comments

Step 1: Tap on the Comments button to open all your comments.

Step 2: Open the developer options.

• On Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Brave Browser: Press Ctrl + Shift + J (Windows) or Option + ⌘ + J (macOS)
• On Firefox: Press Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows) or Option + ⌘ + I (macOS)

Step 3: Tap on Console.

Step 4: Paste the following code onto the console.

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

$domNodeToIterateOver.each(function() {

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

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

Step 5: Tap the Enter key to run the code. This will start deleting your comments.

Note: If you have posted more comments and have multiple pages of comments, this method can remove a single page of comments at a time. Once done, Reddit will display the next page of comments. So, you need to repeat the process until you delete all pages of comments.

There you go, you have deleted all Reddit comments and you will see a message that ‘there doesn’t seem to be anything here’.

How to Delete All Reddit Posts

Step 1: Now, tap on the submitted button to open all your posts.

Step 2: Open the developer options.

• On Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Brave Browser: Press Ctrl + Shift + J (Windows) or Option + ⌘ + J (macOS)
• On Firefox: Press Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows) or Option + ⌘ + I (macOS)

Step 3: Now, tap on Console

Step 4: Paste the following code into the console.

var $domNodeToIterateOver = $('.del-button .option .yes'),    currentTime = 0,    timeInterval = 1500; $domNodeToIterateOver.each(function() {   var _this = $(this);  currentTime = currentTime + timeInterval;   setTimeout(function() {    _this.click();  }, currentTime);});

Step 5: Tap on the Enter key to run the command. This will start deleting your posts.

Note: If you have more posts, you will have multiple pages of posts. So at a time, this method can remove a single page of posts, and once done, Reddit will display the next page of posts and you need to repeat the process until you delete all pages of posts.

After deleting all posts, you will see the message ‘there doesn’t seem to be anything here’ – which indicates that all posts have been deleted from your Reddit account.
