If you’ve ever posted on Reddit and later wished you could easily clean up your history, you’re not alone. Now, with Redact.dev’s Disappearing Mode for Reddit, you can automatically delete posts, comments, and upvotes after a certain period of time — without having to manually dig through your account.
While apps like Signal, Telegram, and Snapchat made disappearing messages popular, Redact brings that same convenience to Reddit, helping you maintain a cleaner, more private online presence.
If you’re looking for a simple way to auto-delete Reddit posts, comments. Disappearing Mode makes it effortless.

What is Disappearing Mode for Reddit?
Disappearing Mode is a powerful automatic deletion feature that lets you decide how long your Reddit activity stays online before being permanently removed. You can fully control which types of content get deleted, how long you want to keep them, and when they vanish.
With Disappearing Mode on Reddit, you can:
Auto-delete posts you’ve made in any subreddit
Remove your comments across all threads
Maintain a private and up-to-date Reddit profile without constant manual cleanup
How to Set Up Disappearing Mode
Start by downloading and logging into Redact.dev. Once you’re in, open the Disappearing Mode section from the left-hand menu.
Choose Reddit as the platform you want to configure for auto-deletion.
Select the types of Reddit content you want to delete automatically. Redact gives you the choice to target:
Posts
Comments
Upvotes
Once you’ve chosen what you want to delete, set your preservation window. This controls how long your Reddit content remains visible before it is automatically erased. You can choose any time frame measured in weeks, days, or hours — with a minimum limit of 24 hours.
You can also customize additional options:
Preserve all current Reddit content and only auto-delete new posts and comments moving forward
Enable hourly checks for faster and more frequent deletion
Once your rules are saved, Redact will silently monitor your Reddit activity and auto-delete content according to your preferences.
Why You Should Auto-Delete Old Reddit Activity
Setting up auto-deletion for Reddit comes with major advantages:
Enhanced Privacy: Old posts and comments that no longer reflect your views won’t be left behind for others to find.
Reduced Risk: Decrease the chance of posts being resurfaced out of context or causing problems in the future.
Cleaner Profile: Keep your Reddit presence minimal, fresh, and focused on what you care about now.
Better Digital Hygiene: Avoid hoarding thousands of old comments or abandoned discussions.
Deleting posts and comments isn’t about hiding — it’s about keeping your digital footprint under your control.

Automatically Delete Reddit Posts and Comments FAQ
Reddit does not include a one click remove all switch for your full history. You can delete items one by one. Automation requires a helper workflow or app that you control.
Comment replies, crossposts, media uploads, awards you gave, saved items, and upvote or downvote history where supported by your method. Direct messages follow different rules.
