How to Delete Reddit History?

[Johnwick]

I’m trying to figure out how to delete Reddit history, but the choices appear to be hidden and I can not precisely know whether eliminating the app means eliminating it in the device. I simply would like everything swept out.

Any idea of the specifics of how to shut out all activity?

To delete Reddit history, open your profile and go to History. On the mobile app, tap the three dots → Clear history. On a browser, remove posts or comments individually from Profile → Posts/Comments. You can also clear Search History under Settings → Advanced. Use third-party tools to mass-delete content if needed.

Deleting Reddit history s not as easy as telling the application to leave the computer. You need to:

• Go to your profile → Posts & Comments.
  
  
• Deletes manually - post-by-post or comment-by-comment (there’s no “delete all” button on official Reddit).
  
  
• Erase your search history in Settings → Account → Clear Search History.
  
  
• Removing the app does not delete anything in the servers of Reddit, just removes the app on your device.

If you really want everything gone, you can also consider deleting your Reddit account, which removes all your data (though some traces may still exist in cached or archived posts).

Ah yes, the classic “delete my embarrassing Reddit past” move.

Pro tip: uninstalling the app does nothing. Reddit’s servers keep a copy like your mom keeps your baby pictures. You gotten manually delete stuff or nuking the account is the only real way.

Man, Reddit does not have the possibility to erase the history completely. One post at a time you are to do it.

Not true. When you delete your account, your online posts are deleted together with your profile name and thus it is practically anonymous.

Ok, but still on the technical part old links may persist in displaying the text without your name. So when you want it completely gone, you are in a way screwed.

 

[akirasato]

Fair enough. The sole safe option is not to post anything that you are regretting lol.

Deleting Reddit history is like attempting to remove the Matrix. You press a button, 50 more ghosts pop up: old comments, old posts, search history… good luck!

If you want to go hardcore:

• Open a browser version → download the data of Reddit → see what is saved.
  
  
• Manual deletion of posts/comments or third party scripts/tools (be careful of credential use)
  
  
• Clears App cache and local storage ( Door to door mobile storage unreadable e.g. camera and other tabs)
  
  
• Lastly, deleting the application only wipes out the phone and not the server.

In effect, everything is stored on the servers of Reddit, and thus, there is no magic button that can erase everything without deleting the accounts.

Clear Reddit history by going to Profile → History, then delete items individually. In the app, open Settings → Clear local history. Also clear browser history or cache if needed.

It is possible to remove posts and comments made on Reddit on your profile. History browsing can be deleted either through account settings or your browser.

The way to clear Reddit history is to delete individual posts and comments on your profile. Account or browser settings can also be used to clear browsing history.
