    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.
