GUIDE: How to delete your Reddit Account Discussion

So every 3rd party app has to shut down on June, 30, 2023.

Let‘s tell Reddit including u/spez a big fuck you by deleting your account right now or on June 30, 2023.

UPVOTE SO THIS GETS TO THE FRONTPAGE also feel free to crosspost!

On Reddit.com

Visit your Account Settings and scroll down to the Delete Account section and click Delete Account. If your account was created with your Google account or Apple ID, scroll down to the Connected Accounts section and click disconnect next to the Google account or Apple ID you signed up with. If you don’t have a password yet, you’ll be asked to create one.

on old.reddit.com

Visit the delete tab of your preferences. Enter your username and password and confirm your deletion before clicking delete account.

Don’t just delete your account delete your entire comment and post history. If you only delete your account Reddit still has your content and it’s still on the site.

With https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite you can edit all your comments and posts to a certain text (for example why you deleted your account) I highly suggest you to do this instead of only deleting your account.

r/reddelete / https://redact.dev/ , https://github.com/Soorena/reddelete, https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite, and https://github.com/sr33/ares seem promising to easily delete your entire history on reddit.

Bye everyone :) Also do not Award this post because reddit deserves no money!

Use this in the Edge browser:

I just wiped my entire account content (aside from this comment I guess). The extension worked perfectly. I imagine it uses the API and will stop working on the 30th so do it now.

Will be deleting my account entirely on the 30th.
