Gotta be honest, watching the titles of the posts getting deleted made me a bit nostalgic, because it was an almost 5yo account.
However, now that's old news, and my account is totally gone.
I won't miss it really, I like Lemmy a lot more.

Request a GDPR export and you will get your entire comment history. There are tools that can read that history and delete all the comments. I did encounter errors deleting a small number of comments which may have been due to the subs being privated. I deleted the problem ones from the json and the rest got deleted. I manually checked a sample of the 12 years of comments to confirm the accessible ones were being deleted.
Delete your account, look again in 3 months to see if account is gone.
If not request deletion via email amd if not followed by a satisfactory action, file a gdpr complaint. That will fuck them over a bit.
