Script Summary: Attempts to securely delete your Reddit comments by editing with a random overwrite, and then deleting the newly edited comment.



Version: 1

Disclaimer: This script is provided without any guarantees whatsoever. Secure deletion is attempted based on current information provided by Reddit, but actual functionality cannot be guaranteed. By using this script, you accept full responsibility for all issues arising from your use of the script. No warranty whatsoever is provided to you.

Usage
  • On your user summary page, you will see a link at the top that says "Secure Delete comments on this page". Clicking on this will automatically securely delete all comments on that page. This process is intentionally slow, to avoid triggering rate limits from the Reddit servers. After the process has completed, use your browser's refresh button to load the next page of comments and you can continue deleting the same way.
  • In threads where you have commented, you will see a link at the very top of the page that allows you to securely delete all your comments in that thread. You will also see an added link button to your individual comments to securely delete specific comments. The button is where the edit/delete/report buttons are currently located on Reddit.
  • If you recieve errors along the way, these errors come from Reddit's servers. The best thing to do is wait for 30 seconds and try again.
I will check in from time to time for requests and bugs.
