I changed my HN username earlier this year for reasons.

However if you search HN via the Algolia search link at the bottom of this page, you can still find my old posts under my old username.

Not to mention the 1,000s of self-hosted HN scrapers out there.

You can email dang and they'll work with you depending on what privacy stuff you need, but yeah it's a manual process.

People have changed the users on old comments they no longer want associated with themselves and such. There was discussion a while back about it (I haven't taken advantage of this myself).
