I have got my privacy report in CSV form and have about 40k comments each with the id parent Id and permalink. Is there a way to parse this to delete script. I know shreddit does it for $15 premium but looking for free options
This is not what OP is asking for. PowerDeleteSuite is limited by what the Reddit API allows access to, so about 1000 comments from your profile. It doesn’t let you feed a list of comment URLs to it for deletion.
In the csv from Reddit it shows I had over 5100 comments. I ran PowerDeleteSuite and it completely erased all my comments. I kept my account and I go back on Reddit once in a while to check and only once I had to delete a stray comment that popped back up. Otherwise my comment and post history (12 y.o. acct) is gone.
What are you using to prove all your comments are gone? If you are just looking in your profile it will.be empty as Reddit doesn’t bump comments into the list unless somone votes on them. So if you delete your new 1000 it doesn’t promote the 1001st into that list likewise if you delete your top 1000 it won’t promote the 1001st until someone drops a vote on one.
Try googling your username and Reddit and see what is there (I found hundreds even though your profile was showing only two)

Just did that and holy shit there’s a ton still left over. Is there another alternative that will delete properly cause my profile shows it’s empty.
Edit: And to clarify, I didn’t get my GDPR archive back yet despite putting in the request a few weeks ago, so dunno if I can use any of the tools that require the archive.
