4. Filter by Date Range

If you want to remove content from a particular time period:

  • Set a Start Date to delete posts after that point

  • Set an End Date to remove older content

  • Use the calendar tool to easily select the month or year

  • Click the Reset button to clear your filters

Perfect for deleting posts tied to specific events or outdated opinions.

Mass deletion of emails can be specified by Start Date (only delete emails after this date) or End Date (only delete emails before this date). You can select by month by clicking the month label, and by year by clicking the year label. Clicking the Reset red text will reset the date value for that field.

5. Delete by Post Title or Body Content

Redact allows you to:

  • Delete content based on keywords in the title

  • Delete content based on words or phrases in the body

Whether you’re cleaning out specific topics, names, or old reviews, you can find and remove them quickly by adding keywords to the input field.

Delete according to the title. Input a word or phrase that Redact will search for in the post title. If you’re looking for a specific word to delete in the title of a post, this is where you place it.

6. Choose Your Email Deletion Mode

Redact offers four deletion modes to fit your needs – so you can mass delete your MAL content with as much (or as little) precision as you want.

  • Preview Mode – this lets you see all results based on your filters, before you delete anything.

  • Select & Delete Mode – this lets you preview your MyAnimeList content, and bulk-select as many as you want for permanent deletion.

  • Deletion Mode – instantly erases all MyAnimeList content based on your filters.

  • Schedule Deletion – allows you to automate content deletion based on your filters.

We recommend previewing before running a full deletion to avoid accidental loss.

Want to simply delete your entire email history? Want to completely remove all emails you ever sent or received? The Redact App can easily do that for you. To delete all emails in your account, just skip the settings options and go straight to one of the options at the very bottom. Those options are called "deletion mode", "preview mode", and "select and delete mode". Take note that content deletion is irreversible when you choose "deletion mode". Deletion mode is recommended only if you have used the Redact Software previously and are comfortable with how it works. Once you choose deletion mode, your emails will be gone forever. Instead, use preview mode to do a dry run and ensure your settings are correct, then go to deletion mode.
