PowerDeleteSuite screwed me over around 6 months ago. I got 2 replies to comments it was supposed to delete but they were still there, user name, content and all, they were just not linked to my account. If I search my username + reddit I still get results. My name is not attached anymore because I deleted my account.

Thankfully I started manually editing and deleting my comments after using PowerDeleteSuite, and those remain gone as far as I know.

Been telling everyone to purge their old content. You can always view Reddit just to lurk, there’s no need to let them monetize your old content. Into the bin it goes

I manually overwrote my post about 2 weeks ago and have been checking as subs came back online. a few reverted but most didnt. I deleted my 9 year old account last night and checked and its stills gone

I heard they revert to the original data? Didnyou check?

A few weeks ago I used PDS to edit my comments - using the fork with the 5 second delay. Random pockets of older comments started reappearing after few days. I’ve been checking all 45 pages of my history every few days and editing the random comments that have reverted from the edited message. It seems like it has mostly stuck now.

I guessing there’s probably some broken code/process somewhere that isn’t always able to commit changes and once caches expire the comment returns.

I just tried Power Delete Suite about an hour ago. I beleive reddit has slowed down the allowable edit rate, something like one every 5 seconds. PDS runs through as fast as it can, meaning it’s a 1 in 10 success at best. I tried Redact as well, but that just blanks out white after giving it permission. I’m not having much success. But Shreddit seems to work OK? Though that doesn’t address the undeletion possobility

Did this nearly a month ago. Just went back and checked and it has not been reverted. Hooray!
