In the Reddit data package you get two files: post\_votes.csv and comment\_votes.csv. These provide URLs to all up/down voted posts and comments respectively. It would be nice to be able to remove all historical possible up/down votes to keep things as clean as humanly possible. ---

Hey @QuickKoala - thanks for your post! That’s a great suggestion. Manually removing downvotes and upvotes is difficult to do in Reddit’s UI. Providing a solution to this with Redact is very appealing 🙂 We’ll investigate and keep this thread updated. ---

Much appreciated, looking forward to hearing more about this. ---

I thought Redact already had a mass upvote / downvote redaction option where you can undo all your upvotes or downvotes? ---

Doesn’t reddit disallow you to change your upvoting and downvoting history after a set amount of time? ---

Trigger may be correct, I think there is a set amount of time you can change your voting on a comment or thread? Or maybe I am thinking of making upvotes on older comments. I know there have been times in the past when i try to upvote old comments or posts and it wont allow me to do it. ---

Reddit does allow you to change your votes on old comments or threads, I’ve done it before. Technically, this feature should be doable I think. ---

Yep, you can remove Reddit upvotes and downvotes, it’s just not obvious at scale. For individual items, tapping the same arrow again clears your vote and sets it back to neutral. Two gotchas people run into: older posts can be archived, which disables voting entirely, so you can’t undo votes on those. Also, if something was deleted or made private, you might still see it in your history or export, but you won’t be able to access it to unvote. A nice way to think about it for a Redact-style cleanup is to treat your vote history like a checklist. Go down the list, unvote anything still accessible, and skip anything archived or unavailable, then show a summary of what actually changed so you know how “clean” it got.
