After the blackout I deleted all my posts and comments on reddit using the PowerDeleteSuite, and since then I've come back weekly to find comments existing on my account. I've been deleting them by hand now that the API is unusable. Does reddit pull these out of a backup? Do I just now see all of my comments? What's the reason these comments keep showing up?

2 sources to this:

-You cannot see/edit/delete comments/posts that are in currently private communities.

-Reddit only caches ~100 items each in your profiles various lists (posts, comments, summary, and all their different sort options), so once those lists are empty it appears you have no content left but there's still plenty that have just fallen off the end of those lists.

You can delete it... If you can find it. Reddit doesn't give you the tools to find all of your own content.
