Reddit doesnt let me delete my account.

In first try I am able to enter username and password and it still doesnt allow to delete In second try it doesnt allow me to enter password Then I opened new tab and same thing happened, tried opening in other window too. This was a burner account

This is likely a JavaScript race condition created by autofill on the password field. Lots of websites have this now; some fucking framework or another doesn’t handle a paste/autofill on fields. Try adding a space after the password and then remove it again, see if it trips the validation checks

- Yeah, I've got some logins you need to actually click into the field for the text to register (although that's my local utility so a bit more excusable).

Spoof your data, delete everything you can, and then post something against the rules until reddit ban you. Or try on another browser. Or, directly write a mail explaining you want to delete your account and related data.

- How is being banned helpful in this case? Doesn't that just mean you can't post/comment?

  I don't really know, perhaps it's just a misconceptions from me that being permanently banned is similar as a deletion. But anyway, that's was more a joke because it's crazy to try to be banned just for this.

https://redact.dev/ might prove useful in this case

- None of these tools work anymore, Reddit is blocking them. I ended up manually deleting all of my posts and comments. Even doing it manually Reddit would stop me from doing it after 100 delete, then I'd have to wait 24 hours and start over.
  
  Fuck spez.

This is my first comment here after a permaban. I would like my data deleted. Fuck spez.

  I figured. I was permabanned for promotion of violence. I don't think wishing someone survived a shooting and was paralyzed was promoting violence.

could be uBlock Origin blocking some elements.

- Dont think so, Ive deleted accounts previously from same device with ublock origin installed..

  uBlock origin is constantly getting updated tho, maybe a new update was more aggressive in blocking trackers and blocked the button from functioning.

I was able to delete the account using Android reddit app. Fuck reddit

Let them delete it under the GDPR. That will mean they have to truely truely delete it. And they would have to prove that you are currently not residing in the EU. Maybe use a European VPN for the notification.

Have you tried putting anything into the "reason for leaving" field? I know it says optional, but maybe they fucked it up (on accident or on purpose) so it actually is required.

Maybe it needs something in the reason field?
