You'll need to update the praw.Reddit() parameters and set booleans to True based on what you want to have cleared.

This also overwrites your comments with nonsense content seeing as Reddit doesn't really delete your comments if nobody forces them

Sorry about the amateurish Python, this isn't my go-to language

import praw

#Update all values set to XXXXXX and set boolean values to True for whatever you'd like to clear

reddit = praw.Reddit(
    client_id="XXXXXX",
    client_secret="XXXXXX",
    user_agent="script running locally", #required for PRAW but not sure content matters
    username="XXXXXX",
    password="XXXXXX"
)

#booleans
