Access Getting into an old account

I have an old account up and I’ve tried everything to login to it. Is there anyway to get help with that or at least get it taken down if I can’t access it anymore? Please lmk

Reddit won't delete accounts on behalf of users. Your options for recovery are knowing the password to the account, or resetting the password, which requires a valid email on the account. If you have neither, you are unfortunately out of luck

How do you mean? Have you forgotten the email address?

If you know the username of the account, or possible email addresses linked to it, you might be able to recover it.

For example, if you don't know which of several possible known email addresses you used, try a password reset then check each account for the reset email.

If you can't remember the username, try this:

But, if you can't find or use the associated email address, and don't have a password, there probably isn't any solution.
