This may shock you, but it's not deleted.

Yeah. There was this guy who deleted his account but Reddit restored it. Apparently he was going to take them to court based on some GDPR article.

They still have all the edit history. All editing does is show the last one. The servers would have every version.

I attempted to delete all my posts using one of those nuke-Reddit scripts and my account got banned for it.
