Does anybody knows how do I get them permanently deleted or I'm powerless against it?

Instead of bulk deleting you should bulk change your comments directing people to Lemmy.

I deleted everything by hand and then left reddit. My account doesn't exist anymore so it seems like I can do shit about it. But your recommendation still holds, I wish I've done something like that.

Even that didn't work for me. My old comments kept popping back up. I had to delete them mulitple times and then manually whackamole the ones that popped up to finally get rid of them.

And they’re probably still there. I haven’t gone back and looked lately, but I did the delete whack a mole for about three weeks until my account was empty save for my up/down votes. It’s still empty.

But I looked up something a couple weeks ago and went to the Reddit link …and one of my comments was right there in the thread. There were others I could find via google, but not search on Reddit. They’re only there in context.
