It's too late for you, but I'd suggest anybody who wants to delete their account consider first editing all of their comments to overwrite the data, there are lots of reports of deleted comments being restored, I've not heard of reverted edits though. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

I just tried Power Delete Suite about an hour ago. I beleive reddit has slowed down the allowable edit rate, something like one every 5 seconds.

But Shreddit seems to work OK? Though that doesn't address the undeletion possobility

use the PDS fork with the 5 second delay. it'll take forever but it'll get the job done!
