Filter by Date Range

If you only want to delete content from a certain time period:

  • Choose an end date to delete content made before that point
  • Use the calendar tool to quickly pick a specific day, month, or year

To reset the filter, click the red “Reset” button.

The Redact App allows you to delete pictures and comments by specific date ranges. Deletion can be specified by start date (only delete after this date) or end date (only delete before this date). When you press the calendar icon, a calendar will appear. By default, it’ll take you to the current date, but you can easily change this. You can click the title at the top to select from a list of months, or click it twice to select from a list of nearby years. Alternatively, you could click the left and right arrows to skip around to adjacent months. When you have the correct month and year, you just click the day and you’re done. If you want to start over, just tap the reset button in red text.

Start the Deletion Process

Redact offers several deletion modes:

  • Preview Mode: See what will be deleted based on your filters
  • Deletion Mode: Delete all selected content immediately
  • Select and Delete Mode: Review and manually choose what to keep or remove
  • Schedule Deletion: this lets you schedule regular deletions based on your parameters

If you want to wipe everything from your Imgur account, skip the filters and go straight to deletion mode.

To delete your entire Imgur account history at once, skip the entire list of Imgur search options, go straight to the bottom of the app settings, and click start deleting. Be advised that content deletion is irreversible. If you're not confident about deleting everything all at once, use preview mode first. Or, use "select & Delete Mode" to pick and choose which Imgur content you want to delete and which content you'd like to save.

Your Imgur account says a lot about you. Whether you’re looking to protect your privacy or just declutter your digital life, Redact makes the process fast and easy.

Redact also supports a massive range of major social media and productivity platforms – like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack and more.

Inbox notifications, comment mentions, chat messages where supported, private messages on sites that allow them, and moderator notices that appear in your inbox view.
Open Redact and choose Stack Exchange. Sign in, select Messages and Mentions, then choose the target sites. Redact runs on your device and uses the minimum access needed to perform actions you approve.
Filter by date ranges, specific sites like Stack Overflow or Super User, message types such as comments, chat, or mentions, and keyword matches in the message preview text.
Use Preview to review matches with no changes, Deletion to remove all matches, Select and Delete to approve items one by one, and Scheduled Deletion to run recurring sweeps.
Yes. Use Before, After, or Between date filters. You can start with older than 1 year or a custom range, then expand if you like the results.
