PowerDeleteSuite only gets the comments shown in your profile, which is limited to 1000 comments in each list: New, Top, Hot & Controversial. You need to do a data request which contains CSV files with links to all your comments, then you can feed that into something like shreddit, in order to get everything.

If one was to delete the top 1000 comments, then would the older ones be visible?

I had separate accounts for pretty much every community, so they didn't have too many comments.

No, the list will appear empty.

At least, until reddit restores some of the comments some time later. That's also been happening a few times over.

I wouldn't hurry to delete your account, so that you can supervise this.

Edit: if your accounts have fewer than 1000 comments each then you'd probably see everything on your profile page.

My accounts only had a couple of hundred posts each, so that didn't turn out to be an issue. I haven't yet deleted them, but the edited comments haven't been restored after a week or so.

That's good then. I've had comments popping up in the different lists over time. I either ran PDS again or just manually edited them.

I haven't seen anything restored from the GDPR files I used with shreddit, but then I've only grabbed a handful out of something like 76,000 comments over 12 years.
