I know that deleting a Reddit account might seem confusing at first, because when you login to your account and start looking for that option, you won’t be able to find it anywhere. You will probably eventually find it, but it will take quite a while. Actually the account deletion option seems a bit hidden, well, not hidden because it’s right there for everyone to see, but it isn’t as easy to find as you would expect it to be.
For example, I consider myself a very tech savvy guy, I usually decipher and figure out how websites work very quickly. However, figuring out how to deactivate my Reddit account took me a while, it wasn’t a lot of time though, but for a guy like me it felt like a lifetime.
