    I deleted all of my comments using PDS. I just did a Google search for my username on Reddit and it had one result. I went to the post (I remember the OP) but my comment doesn’t appear on the post. So is this a caching issue?

          Google cache does expire so it will forget eventually. The problem is when you go to the original on reddit, we’re seeing that some of the comments still have their text intact, but with a [deleted] username now.

            This is the expected behavior on Reddit when you delete your account. None of your posts go anywhere. You have to manually, before you delete your account, edit them to remove their contents. Requests for deletion under GDPR may function differently.

    I think it’s in their cache or something. During the blackout they will still show your comment on private sub when googled

    Sidenote: anyone have better way to edit all comment? I tried using power delete suite and it only edit some but not all my comment

    Well google doesn’t have realtime results. They obviously still have your account on there, because they crawled it propable ages ago…
    When you click the link though, reddit tells you that this account doesn’t exist, so no BS. Just how such things work

      But I can see the post just with the “[deleted]” username, or is it just me? I edited those to say something else and then delete them, so I wonder if I’m the only one I can see them.

          I do. I see the same thing as OP. I think what happened is this was a post from a sub that was private when OP deleted the account, but went public after. Or maybe a really old one that was somehow past the visibility limit. But yeah the comment is still there - and now uneditable and undeletable.
