Reddit has a long memory, but that doesn’t mean your old posts and comments on Reddit should follow you forever.
Maybe your old Reddit posts reflect outdated opinions, embarrassing moments, or just things that no longer matter. Either way, they’re always out there—waiting to be found, screenshotted, and potentially used against you.
If you’re a creator, public figure, or job seeker, your old Reddit posts are more likely to resurface when you least expect them.
The best part? No need to sift through posts manually. With Redact.dev, you can erase everything in just a few clicks.
Why Should I Delete My Reddit Posts?
Your Reddit Posts and Comments can Always be Discovered A comment or post you made years ago might not reflect who you are today, but that won’t stop someone from digging it up and using it against you—potentially affecting your career, reputation, or personal life.
Employers and Clients Are Watching Recruiters, business partners, and even dates often look you up online. Your old Reddit posts could surface at the worst time and create the wrong impression before you get a chance to explain.
Your Privacy Is at Risk Reddit history can expose more personal details than you realize—your interests, opinions, and even identifiable information. This data can be used by bad actors to target or manipulate you. The less of it available, the better.
Reddit Is Selling Your Data
Reddit has struck deals to sell user-generated content to AI companies for training models—meaning your posts and comments could be used without your consent. Do you really want your words fueling someone else’s algorithm?
The Solution? Wipe Your Reddit History.
Manually deleting your old posts and comments would take ages—why not do it in a few clicks?

Delete All Reddit Posts Permanently 2025 FAQ
Reddit lets you remove posts and comments individually. There is no single remove all switch for your full history in one click. Large archives need organized batches or a helper tool.
Deleting is your action that hides content from your profile and most views. Moderator removal hides content in a subreddit but it can still exist on your profile unless you delete it yourself.
Deleting the post removes it from Reddit views. Images hosted on third party sites or copies in search engines can remain. Remove those at the source if needed.
Open Redact and choose Reddit. Connect your account, pick targets like posts or comments, set filters for subreddits, dates, keywords, links, and media, run a Preview, then execute deletion or save a schedule.
Filter by subreddit, date ranges, score, keywords, domains, media type, and reply depth. Add whitelists for subs, users, or phrases you want to keep.
Yes. Save your filters and enable Disappearing Mode to run daily, weekly, or monthly. Redact repeats your rules and removes new matches automatically.
Account deletion does not remove past content. It leaves posts and comments with your former username shown as deleted. You must delete content before closing the account if you want it gone.
Removing posts reduces visible karma tied to those items. Awards on deleted content disappear from views. Subreddit memberships and settings remain unless you change them.
No. Redact runs on your device and uses the minimum access required to execute your actions. You can disconnect Reddit from Redact at any time.
Deleting on Reddit does not pull content from external caches or archives. You may need to request removal from those services separately.
