If you are no longer interested in using Reddit, you have the ability to delete a Reddit profile. However, you have to jump do a little more if you want to delete your Reddit posts as well as comments, too. This article will show you how to delete your Reddit profile.
Reddit provides you the option to “deactivate” your account, this is permanent. After you deactivate/delete, your profile will be permanently removed from Reddit. Your username will vanish from Reddit.
However, any Reddit posts or comments you’ve posted will remain on the site. They won’t have your username associated with them anymore. As per Reddit, they become “unattributed,” and no one can know who posted them. Even the messages you sent will become unattributed.
Until and unless you have posted something containing personal information, there is practically no need to delete any comments or posts, as they will be unattributed.
Note – You won’t be able to delete posts or comments after you deactivate your account, you will not be able to access it ever again.
