Reddit Cleanup Userscripts

This repository contains two Tampermonkey userscripts for cleaning up your Reddit account on old.reddit.com:

  • 🗑 Reddit Comment Deleter — Deletes all your comments, one page at a time
  • 🔼 Reddit Upvote Cleaner — Removes all your upvotes by clicking each one, then reloading to continue

These scripts are designed to work with Tampermonkey in Chrome or other Chromium-based browsers.


🧩 Requirements


📁 Installation

  1. Install Tampermonkey in your browser.
  2. Open the Tampermonkey dashboard and click "Create a new script...".
  3. Delete the default template and paste in the code from the script you want.
  4. Click File → Save, then refresh the Reddit page.
  5. For a visual guide, see:

🗑 Reddit Comment Deleter

🔼 Reddit Upvote Cleaner

URL match: https://old.reddit.com/user/<your_username>/upvoted

Features

  • Reloads the page to load the next set of upvoted posts
  • Continues until all upvotes are removed
  • Includes a UI button: ▶ Start Upvote Cleaner

⚠️ Warnings

  • These actions are irreversible. Once deleted or unvoted, content cannot be restored.
  • Use at your own risk.
  • Reddit may rate-limit or throttle your actions if used too quickly or excessively.
  • Deleted content may still exist on Reddit’s databases or appear "deleted" without being fully removed.
  • Your data might also have been archived by third-party scrapers and could still be accessible elsewhere.

❓ FAQ

  1. Why use this when I can just delete the account? - Deleting an account may not delete comments. This is more thorough.
  2. What about deleting posts? - Most users have far fewer posts than comments and upvotes, so I created tools for the latter.
  3. Does this delete all comments and upvotes? - These tools delete what is visible on old.reddit.com. It's possible that some content may not be displayed there.
