Delete DeviantArt Content by Date Range
One of Redact's most powerful tools is our custom date filter. This custom date filter allows you to segregate your old DeviantArt content by dates or date ranges. Want to remove your entire account history from 2010 - 2015? You can do that. Maybe you want to delete all DeviantArt Posts from May 23, 2009 - June 1, 2009, easily done. Redaction can be specified by an Start Date (only delete after this date) or End Date (only delete 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.
Date Range
These dates are set to specific dates. The Scheduler feature will delete only between these dates.
Delete DeviantArt Posts or Comment Keywords
Are you embarrassed by a social trend you were heavy into back in the day? It's OK, we all jumped on various adolescent hype trains when we were young. You don't have to risk your current friends or co-workers finding those old sexual anime posts from 2005! With the Redact Software, you can comb through your old DeviantArt posts and comments, singling out specific keywords to target. Enter a phrase or group of words that Redact searches for in the body of the post or comment, and let us remove those embarrassing landmines in your internet past.
Post body content
Only delete posts matching these words
Comment body content
Only delete comments matching these words
Delete Based on the Title of Content
Delete according to the title. Input a word or phrase and Redact will match it against the titles of your deviations and of the deviations you have favorited. A title keyword also limits comments to those left on deviations with a matching title. Posts work differently, they are targeted by their body text using the post keyword filter.
Titles of deviations and favorites
Only delete content with matching words in the title
Delete your DeviantArt history
One of Redact's most powerful tools is our complete DeviantArt history deleter. That's right, with only one click you can remove every deviation, post, comment, and favorite you ever made on the site. There will be no trace of you ever being on DeviantArt. To delete anything and everything on your DeviantArt account, go straight to the bottom of the software and you will see "deletion mode". Click "start deleting" and you're off to the races. Please be advised, there is no coming back from the "deletion mode", so use caution. You can use preview mode or review and delete mode if you're not fully comfortable using the app yet, this will give you a chance to make adjustments to the content deletion process.

Frequently asked questions
There are two parts to this answer. Please read the first part carefully. Part One
- Due to how DeviantArt handles the comments, a user must have a comments module on their profile in order to delete them. If you plan to delete comments but have deleted your comment module, please follow these instructions:
- Navigate to your profile's about page, it should look something like
'https://www.deviantart.com/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/about'. - Scroll down and click 'add section'.
- Select the comments module to add it.
- Once the comments module has been added to your DeviantArt profile, you may continue with deleting your comments. Once all of your comments have been deleted, you may remove the comments module again if desired.
Part Two
- Open the Redact Software and browse to DeviantArt tab on left side menu.
- On the "Filter Types (optional)" options, make sure only the "comments" box is ticked. The other three (Deviations, Favorites, and Posts.) should be unticked.
- On the "Date Range" box, choose the desired date ranges you want Redact to search for comments in. If you want to search all-time comment history, you can leave the default settings selected which is "Absolute Date" and "All time" on box one and "now" on box 2.
- "Title keywords to delete (optional)" - Leave blank.
- "Post keywords to delete (optional)" - Leave blank.
- "Comment keywords to delete (optional)" - Enter a word or phrase included in comments you've made to delete those comments. Enter as many or as few as you desire. If you enter nothing, Redact will search your entire comment history (assuming your date range is set to all-time).
- "NSFW (optional)" - Leave unticked
- "Engagement Filter" - Enter a number in the Likes field to only delete comments whose like count is at or below it. It is a ceiling, not a range, so there is no minimum. Leave the Favorites, Comments, and Likes fields blank to target all of your comments no matter how much engagement they picked up.
- Finally, you can choose your deletion mode. You can choose between:
- Preview Mode - Allows you to run a test search with your settings. This allows you to determine if you have entered the correct settings above to get your desired outcome. If you like the results you see in preview mode, you are ready for deletion mode.
- Deletion Mode - This is the option to use if you are confident in your settings and ready to begin the comment removal process. This is the option for mass deleting your comments. Once this button is pressed, your comments will begin deleting. Only use this option if you are positive you want to get rid of the comments you saw in preview mode, there is no going back after you press begin deleting.
- Review & Delete Mode - This is a safe option that does a search using your specified settings and then displays the comments for you to manually sort though. You will be able to pick and choose what comments to keep and what comments to delete on an item-by-item basis.
- Open the Redact Software and browse to DeviantArt tab on left side menu.
- On the "Filter Types (optional)" options, make sure all 4 of the boxes are ticked. This includes Deviations, Comments, Favorites, and Posts.
- On the "Date Range" box, choose the desired date ranges you want Redact to search for content in. If you want to search all-time, you can leave the default settings selected which is "Absolute Date" and "All time" on box one and "now" on box 2.
- "Title keywords to delete (optional)" - Enter a word or phrase included in deviations' and favorites' titles to delete said deviations and favorites. Note: Comments are matched against the title of the deviation they were left on, and it matches whole words only. In the case that favorites are selected for deletion the favorited item's title will be matched against this filter value. Enter as many or as few as you desire.
- "Post keywords to delete (optional)" - Enter a word or phrase included in posts' bodies to delete those posts. Enter as many or as few as you desire.
- "Comment keywords to delete (optional)" - Enter a word or phrase included in comments you've made to delete those comments. Enter as many or as few as you desire. If you enter nothing, Redact will search your entire comment history (assuming your date range is set to all-time).
- "NSFW (optional)" - When selected, Redact will search for Deviations and Favorites labeled NSFW and prepare them for removal.
- "Engagement Filter" - Sets maximum engagement counts for each content type. The Favorites and Comments limits apply to deviations and posts; favorites carry no counts, so these limits don't filter them. The Likes limit applies to comments. Leave all three fields blank to target everything regardless of engagement.
- Finally, you can choose your deletion mode. You can choose between:
- Preview Mode - Allows you to run a test search with your settings. This allows you to determine if you have entered the correct settings above to get your desired outcome. If you like the results you see in preview mode, you are ready for deletion mode.
- Deletion Mode - This is the option to use if you are confident in your settings and ready to begin the removal process. This is the mass deletion option. Once this button is pressed, your content will begin deleting. Only use this option if you are positive you want to get rid of the selected content, there is no going back after you press begin deleting.
- Review & Delete Mode - This is a safe option that does a search using your specified settings and then displays the content for you to manually sort though. You will be able to pick and choose what to keep and what to delete item by item.
