4. Filter by Date Range

If you want to remove Quora content from a particular time period:

  • Set a Start Date to delete posts after that point
  • Set an End Date to remove older content
  • Use the calendar tool to easily select the month or year
  • Click the Reset button to clear your filters

This is perfect to bulk deleting old Quora answers and comments, or mass deleting Quora content within a specific period of time.

Mass deletion of emails can be specified by Start Date (only delete emails after this date) or End Date (only delete emails before this date). You can select by month by clicking the month label, and by year by clicking the year label. Clicking the Reset red text will reset the date value for that field.

5. Delete by Keyword

If you want to delete content related to a specific topic or word, use the keyword filter:

  • Enter a word or phrase in the input field
  • Click Add to include it
  • To remove a word, click the X next to it
  • To clear all keywords, use Clear All

With keyword filtering, you can refine your mass Quora deletion to only target specific Quora content with keywords you define.

Redact will find and delete content on Quora based on keywords you enter. Enter your chosen text in the input field, and click the add button to add it. To remove a text, just click the “x” that is in line with the text. To clear all text, click the clear all button.

6. Preview, Select, or Delete Everything

Redact gives you multiple deletion options:

  • Preview Mode: See what will be deleted before confirming
  • Select and Delete Mode: Manually choose what to remove
  • Deletion Mode: Immediately delete all selected content
  • Schedule Deletion: This lets you automate ongoing Quora deletion, so your answers and comments on Quora become temporary.

If you want to erase everything from Quora, skip the filters and go straight to deletion mode. Just remember that deletions are permanent – we recommend running a “Preview” first and making sure you’re happy deleting everything that it shows.

Ready to move on from Quora? Redact has a very powerful option built-in that allows you to completely wipe your Quora account. Once you choose this option and push the start button, your account will become a ghost of Quora past. To delete anything and everything on your Quora account, skip the option inputs and go straight to "deletion mode". Take note that content deletion is irreversible, once you click the deletion mode your content is gone forever. We recommend using preview mode or select and delete mode until you're familiar with how our software works. We would hate to see you mass delete a bunch of your Quora content that you didn't really mean to remove. Get your redaction on, download and try Redact for free!
