How to bulk delete all Facebook posts

If you've had Facebook for a while, you've probably built a large post archive. What used to be considered "beautiful" to publish may now seem inappropriate. It's not just our friends and family who can check out these old posts. Employers actively review social media profiles before hiring.


While you should certainly increase your Facebook privacy settings to avoid this, you may want to consider a more drastic approach. 



One way to protect yourself is to bulk delete all Facebook posts on your profile, permanently removing them from view. If you want to delete all your Facebook posts, here's what you need to do.

How to bulk delete all Facebook posts on PC or Mac

One of the easiest ways to review and delete all Facebook posts on your profile is to use the website interface on a PC or Mac. The Facebook website allows you to review and delete your old Facebook posts, where you can archive your posts to hide them from view or delete them completely.


If you're worried about deleting your posts, don't worry - Facebook uses a trash can system to give you the opportunity to change your mind. 

Posts placed in the Facebook trash can be restored within 30 days. If you want to speed up their removal, however, you can delete Facebook posts immediately.

  1. To get started, open the Facebook website and log in, then select the icon of arrow towards il bass top right. In the pop-up menu at the bottom, select Settings and privacy > Registro atasità.
  2. In the menu Registro atasità, select the option Manage activities to the left.
  3. In the menu Manage activities, make sure that option I your posts is selected on the left. You can review each post manually and select the checkbox next to each post to select it for removal or, alternatively, check the box All to select all posts on your profile. 
  4. After reviewing and selecting the posts, you can choose to archive or delete them. Archiving will hide the posts so that only you can view them in the future, but they will remain on Facebook. Select Archive to do it or press Trash can to prepare posts for removal.
  5. If you archive posts, select Archive in the menu on the left to review them later. If you have selected Delete, however, select Trash can from the menu list to remove them permanently. Select the posts you want to delete or select All to select them all, then select Delete to remove them permanently. 

Once removed, Facebook posts cannot be recovered - they are gone forever. If you move the posts to Facebook's trash, but don't delete them manually afterwards, you'll still have 30 days to restore or move them to your archive before Facebook automatically deletes them.
