Imagine if everyone used something like https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite to edit, then delete, their comments first?
Then ran it a few more times across a week or so, changing the edit message each time?
Sorry if I'm being dense, but what would be the point of that?
The value of reddit is in the content posted, and discussed, by the users. Help requested and given in the form if user posts/replies.
If you edit and delete your content then reddit losses value. Edit to ensure that the backup doesn’t contain the old content, delete to remove it.
Do it a few times just to make sure.
