I think that’s the best solution to this damn

I used edit -> delete with Redact and they reverted my edits and restored my posts (in high population subreddits, it seems, but not smaller population ones).

I’ve gone back in and manually edited and deleted them by hand and they appear gone so far.

Don’t they keep a history of edits that you made? I thought I read that somewhere yesterday in a discussion about what they maintain.
