Reddit is one of the best social networking websites, but some users may feel the need to delete their accounts for whatever reason. The good news is it is possible to delete your Reddit account, and it doesn’t take a lot of effort to get done.
What happens when you delete your account?
Note that whenever your account is deleted, your comments and posts will stay on the platform. Your best option is to delete all comments and posts before getting rid of your account. Furthermore, if you are a Premium member, deleting your account will not cancel your subscription.
Cancel your Reddit Premium membership before hitting the delete button to ensure a smooth transition.
