Are you sure you properly deleted them? Reddit rate limits you to about one edit/delete every 3 seconds. If you go faster than that the deletes fail.
All the comments I have overwritten stayed that way, it was just difficult to reach them all (as different comments show up under “Top”, “Controversial”, “New” and so on).
I’ve been running an app that lists, edits then deletes all comments and posts every 2 hours for about a month. It does this within the rules of the API and confirms all is deleted each time.
It is still finding restored (pre edit) comments today.

Yes I did. They were still deleted a few days after I erased my account. Now they are back.
