Where does one find these scripts?
It is a python script, you need the praw library. The client id’s are given in your profile after you create an app.
import praw reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='yourid', client_secret='yoursecret', password='your password', user_agent='deletes my comments', username='your username') redditor = reddit.redditor("your username") for comment in redditor.comments.top(limit=10000): comment.edit("deleted") comment.delete()
You can edit and delete everything in the same pass but I prefer to overwrite my comments first and give time for the cache machines to register my new garbage before deleting with another pass.
Here is a sanitizer script that uses nothing but javascript
https://github.com/ryanford/Reddit-History-Sanitizer/blob/master/RedditHistorySanitizer.js
Open a tab, login to your account and go to your account page aka reddit.com/u/usernamehere (you likely need old.reddit version of your account, its all I use). Install tampermonkey and the script into that… It will iterate through your comments, overwrite them, then delete and refresh the page as it goes.
Change the line here:
const age = 7
to
const age = -1
To delete all comments. You can adjust that number (in days) to how old you it to filter for comments.
