Delete Reddit Posts

A program to delete ALL of your Reddit Posts. Code can be found at https://github.com/warnakey/delete-reddit-posts

NOTE: You MUST enter your username and password in the TERMINAL and NOT inside the browser window! Doing this will mess up the program and cause it to fail.

Please follow all directions outlined in the documentation below! :)

This program was written on February 9th and 10th, 2019 by Eric Warncke. ericwarncke@gmail.com. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericwarncke/.
