How to Clear Your Reddit Upvote and Downvote History

Reddit upvotes and downvotes are private by default — other users cannot see your vote history. However, understanding what Reddit tracks about your votes (and what's visible to you) helps you make informed privacy decisions.

● THE STEPS

3 steps to Remove Reddit Upvote History.

  1. 01

    Check Your Vote Privacy Settings

    Go to Reddit Settings > Privacy and toggle "Make my votes public" — ensure this is OFF if you don't want your votes visible to others.

  2. 02

    View Your Upvoted Posts

    On your profile, click "Upvoted" to see posts you've upvoted (only visible to you). This list can be cleared by downvoting the same posts (removing your upvote).

  3. 03

    Focus on What Matters Most

    Your upvote history is private unless you've opted to make votes public. The higher privacy priority is your public posts and comments — use Karmdit to bulk delete those.

● TIPS FROM THE FIELD
  • Upvotes are private unless you explicitly opt to make them public in Reddit settings.
  • Even if you've made votes public, the list shows the posts you voted on, not necessarily your specific vote direction.
  • The highest privacy risk comes from your public posts and comments — prioritize cleaning those with Karmdit.
● FAQ

Common questions.

Can others see what I've upvoted on Reddit?

Only if you've enabled "Make my votes public" in your Reddit privacy settings. By default, your votes are private. Check your settings to confirm.

How do I remove an upvote on Reddit?

Click the upvote button again on any post or comment to remove your upvote (returns to neutral). Or click downvote to actively downvote. There's no bulk "remove all upvotes" feature in Reddit.
