How do I delete all comments from Reddit data export csv for free?? (kbin.social)

I have got my privacy report in CSV form and have about 40k comments each with the id parent Id and permalink. Is there a way to parse this to delete script. I know shreddit does it for $15 premium but looking for free options

Try googling your username and Reddit and see what is there (I found hundreds even though your profile was showing only two)

Just did that and holy shit there's a ton still left over. Is there another alternative that will delete properly cause my profile shows it's empty.

Edit: And to clarify, I didn't get my GDPR archive back yet despite putting in the request a few weeks ago, so dunno if I can use any of the tools that require the archive.

There is a script that tries pushfit list but not sure if that is still working (edit: no pushfit has gone private I think), otherwise wait for the gdpr. Mine took about 3weeks but did come through, I think I got in just before the rush though as request the end of the first blackout week.

Yeah so I assume you mean the torrent of data. That is great but to be efficient you need to know what subs you post in otherwise you will be traveling a lot of data. Unless it is hosted and searchable somewhere.

thanks!

I went ahead and manually deleted a bunch, but it looks like there are at least several thousand left. I'll have to wait, but honestly I don't even know if they'll actually comply anyway.

There is a way to do this, pushshift is gone but the torrents are still available and you can use that, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the
