Deleting Reddit posts happens only in the Chrome extension, on a computer where you are signed in. There is no phone option and no paid delete option for Reddit. The scan is a separate step: the preview is free, and unlocking the rest of the archive is one payment from $15, in the billing currency for this connection.
A post and a comment are different rows in the export. Removing a submission does not remove replies other people wrote, and it does not clear your comments elsewhere. Bulk-delete Reddit comments is that half of the same zip. X is delete old tweets. Scanning both is 20% off the sum of the two prices.
The procedure
Step 01
Tell a post from a comment
A post is the submission you started: a title, plus a body, a link, or an image. A comment is a reply, under your post or someone else's. Deleting a post removes that submission. It does not delete your comments on other threads, and it does not delete replies other people already wrote. Those replies can remain on Reddit after your post is gone.
Step 02
Request your Reddit data
While signed in, open reddit.com/settings/data-request and request your data. Reddit emails a zip. Reddit's own site deletes one post at a time. There is no bulk control there. SohamReclaim does not ask for your Reddit password.
Step 03
Upload the zip and read posts as posts
Sign up with your email, log in with the one-time code, start a scan, and choose Reddit. We read posts as title plus body, and comments as the comment text. Private-message threads are left out. The free preview scores your 500 most recent posts on that platform. The whole file is counted, so the quote is the price of scanning all of it.
Step 04
Mark the posts you want gone
Mark keep, review, or delete by theme, and open a theme to change one post. You can mark submission themes for delete and leave comment themes on keep, or the reverse. Low-confidence items stay in Review and are never auto-deleted. One payment covers the rest of that archive. There is no subscription. X and Reddit together are 20% off the sum of the two prices.
Step 05
Delete only in the extension, on a computer
Install SohamReclaim — Execute and stay signed in to Reddit in that browser. Run a dry run first. The dry run changes nothing. Reddit deletion is available only through the Chrome extension, free on a computer. There is no phone or paid option for Reddit. Deletes go from your browser to reddit.com. Our servers do not run them.
Deleting on a computer with our Chrome extension is included free with your plan.

Questions worth asking
- Does deleting a post also delete the comments under it?
- No. Removing your submission does not remove replies other people wrote, and those replies can stay on Reddit. Your comments on other threads are separate rows. We do not delete someone else's comments.
- Can this delete comments too?
- Only if you mark them. Posts and comments are both in the export. This procedure is the post half. The comment half is the bulk-delete Reddit comments guide. You decide theme by theme.
- Can I do this from my phone?
- No. Reddit deletion is the Chrome extension on a computer where you are signed in to Reddit. There is no phone option for Reddit.
- Will this delete someone else's posts?
- No. You upload an archive of an account you own or are allowed to act for. Uploading someone else's archive to profile them breaks the terms.
- What if the zip is rejected?
- The file has to be the export from reddit.com/settings/data-request. An X archive uploaded as if it were Reddit will not parse. If a real export fails, write to support@sohamreclaim.com and include the scan id.
