I just logged in and checked my reddit account, and all my manually deleted posts have come back.

Strange. I deleted all my posts and comments and then my account a few days ago and they don't seem to be restored. Could it be a difference of manual vs automated deleting?

I manually deleted a bunch of my posts over the last week and all of them have been restored.

I manually deleted mine, and about half were restored when I just took a look.

I've edited all my posts to read

"Comment Removed - leaving Reddit due to API changes"

Deleting the account leaves up the content. Doing it this way is a little time consuming but it'll get the point across better

I used redact to do this and my edits were reverted and my comments un-deleted. Presuming that this was because I used a tool and it was easily identifiable as being done via API, I went back in and manually edited about 30% of my comments last night and noticed that they were all reverted again today. I've now manually gone in and edited all of my comments this morning and deleted them as of about 2 hours ago and they have not returned yet.
