    Afaik only reddit can delete a sub and I believe even they probably only lock them and kick everyone out?
    I speak from experience as I created a novel sub r/FuckYourBoat (or something like that) and got tired of being considered a mod in the toolbars (don’t need them there) so I tried to get rid of it. No dice: Only leaving.
