Best way to delete all reddit comments/history? (mander.xyz)

Hi, first post here, hoping people can share how they are cleaning up comments and deleting their reddit accounts. I'm ~~ thick as a brick~~ pretty average when it comes to tech, so far I've shreddit github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit/releases but after downloading the windows version and trying to run it... It got blocked by windows security the first time, I insisted in running it, but afterwards nothing happened. I've just installed malware, who knows.

So if you have some foolproof method to nuke all reddit history in your account, I'd love to know about it. Thanks!

I really hate the destruction of knowledge. I've no idea what all you've contributed but I feel compelled to ask if you've mirrored the data somewhere or archived it for public accessibility?

Totally agree, a single deleted comment which provides context can ruin a whole comment thread

I used power delete and it sent me a backup. Idk what to do with it yet.
