Delete Your Imgur Post History FAQ

Can I clear my whole Imgur history in one step from the site?

No. Imgur removes uploads, posts, and comments one at a time from your profile, so clearing a long history by hand means paging through years of content.

What can Redact delete on Imgur?

Your uploaded images, your posts (submissions), and your comments. Each is its own category in Redact, so you can clear one without touching the others.

Which filters can Redact apply to Imgur submissions?

Filter by date range, by keywords in the title, by tags, and by engagement ceilings — only delete submissions at or below a chosen number of comments, points, or favorites.

Can I keep my most popular posts and clear the rest?

Yes. That is what the engagement filter is for: set a maximum on points or favorites so anything that did well stays and everything below the line goes.

How do I see what a run will remove before it runs?

Use Preview to list matches without changing anything, or Review & Delete to approve items one by one. Deletion is irreversible, so a Preview pass first is worth the minute it costs.

Do I need to delete my Imgur account to clear my history?

No. Clearing your uploads, posts, and comments leaves the account itself intact, which is usually preferable to deleting and re-registering.

Will deleted images still resolve on direct i.imgur.com links?

Once Imgur processes the deletion the image is gone from your account and its direct link stops resolving. Copies that other people re-hosted elsewhere are outside Imgur's reach.

What about images I posted anonymously without an account?

Those are not tied to your account, so Redact cannot find them. Anonymous uploads can only be removed with the delete link Imgur issued at upload time.

Can Redact run on a schedule so new uploads do not pile up?

Yes. Save your filters and schedule recurring runs, and anything newer that matches gets cleaned up automatically.

Does Redact store my Imgur credentials or image content on Redact servers?

No. Redact runs on your own machine and uses the minimum access needed to perform the actions you approve. You can disconnect Imgur at any time.

Should I save anything before a large cleanup?

If you want a personal record, download the images you care about first. Deletion on Imgur is permanent and Redact cannot restore anything it removed.

Is Redact easy to try for Imgur?

Yes. Download Redact for free, sign in with a passwordless email code, connect Imgur, and start with a narrow date range before widening it.
