What is the best most effective way to delete my Reddit post history and account.

I have seen people mention programs that they use to go through and delete their entire Reddit history, or edit their posts and replacing the content with a single word, and then deleting their account.

I do not use it like I used to, so I would like to get rid of every digital fingerprint that I can on the site.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

    Nope! That is not enough.

    I want to edit every single comment or post that I ever made and replace it with a single word or phrase. Then I want to delete my account and disassociate everything.

    If you delete your account by regular means, if someone has a direct link, they can still view what was originally posted.

    That is why I want to edit everything beforehand so if someone does happen to figure out a direct link they will not see what I originally posted.

    I haven’t posted anything bad. It’s certainly overkill. I don’t ever intend to be Doxxed (Does anyone?), but if someone ever gained access to my Reddit history they could learn quite a lot about me.

    If I can run a simple program or script to tidy things up then I might as well.

    I imagine I will be doing this within the next couple of weeks.
