Bulk Delete Your Reddit Comments Using the Browser Console

If you want to clean up your Reddit history, deleting comments one by one can take forever. There are tools but many are not free. This method lets you automate the process using your browser’s developer tools.

Before You Start

• This method works directly in your browser using JavaScript.
• You must be logged into your Reddit account.
• Use it carefully, deleted comments cannot be recovered.

Step 1: Go to Your Reddit Profile

Open your comments page (OLD reddit layout!):

https://old.reddit.com/user/YOUR_USERNAME/

Make sure you are viewing your comments, not posts.

Step 2: Open Developer Tools

• Press F12 or right-click anywhere on the page and click Inspect
• Go to the Console tab

Step 3: Paste and Run the Script

Copy and paste the following code into the console, then press Enter:

var $domNodeToIterateOver = $('.del-button .option .yes'),
    currentTime = 0,
    timeInterval = 500;

$domNodeToIterateOver.each(function() {

  var _this = $(this);
  currentTime = currentTime + timeInterval;

  setTimeout(function() {
    _this.click();
  }, currentTime);
});

This script will find all delete confirmation buttons and click them automatically with a slight delay between each action.

Step 4: Load More Comments and Repeat

Once the visible comments are deleted:

1. Click Next at the bottom of the page
2. Press the Up Arrow key in the console to bring back the script
3. Press Enter again

Repeat this process until all comments are removed.

Possible Rate Limiting

Reddit may temporarily block your IP if you perform too many actions quickly. f this happens wait a few minutes and then continue again

Final Notes

This is a manual automation method, not a permanent tool. It works best on older Reddit layouts where jQuery is available.  Always double-check before running scripts in your browser

If you want a safer or more advanced method, consider using dedicated tools or Reddit API-based scripts.
