I've been told that Redact is good, but haven't used it myself yet
Thanks, I'll take a look around. Redact looks good but I'd rather something FOSS if I can find it. If I find anything I'll post here.
Yea agreed, please let me know if you find something! Thanks and good luck!
I ended up using shreddit, a Rust remake of an unmaintained Python script (https://github.com/x89/Shreddit). I had to keep running it over and over, but, I think that was the Reddit API's fault. If you end up using it, I recommend running it in a loop unless you want to keep running the same command over and over.
Anyway, it deleted all posts and comments, but messages in my inbox are still there. I'm fine with that for now but eventually want to clear that out I think.
If you're thinking of doing this I'd recommend running it before the API changes since the script uses it.
