How You Can Quickly Delete Much Old Facebook Posts From Your FB Account by HotnaijaMarket(m): 2:21pm On Mar 27, 2018
Facebook has had a bad few months ago. The Cambridge Analytica fiasco is only the latest thing making people re-evaluate how Facebook fits into their lives. You could always totally quit Facebook if you want, but for many that’s not an option. Maybe you need it for work, to participate in groups or message friends, or maybe you just like using it. But if you need to wipe of your old, embarrassing or sensitive post on you Facebook account to start afresh, just follow this guide


Facebook has done a great job and still doing it...It’s now easy enough to delete one Facebook post at a time making use of some processes but there’s no built in way to delete posts in batch. For that, you’ll need to turn to a browser extension.

While deleting your old posts is a good idea, it won’t help you if third party already has your data. Similarly, while Facebook claims in their Terms of Service that anything you delete also gets deleted from their servers, they also state that “the removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (generally, for a maximum of 90 days…)” and will be held for longer “if required by applicable law, order of any government agency or judicial body, or the like”.

Most of us know that If you’ve used Facebook for a while, it would take you too much time to go back and delete every post individually. Normally, I mysellf have been using Facebook’s “On This Day” feature to check back over old posts and delete those I don’t like. But, if you want a quick way to delete a lot of posts at once, you’ll need to use a browser extension like I said earlier.
Before we proceed, I have to give you warning about browser extensions being a privacy nightmare . Yes, it’s ironic that we’re fighting one privacy problem by using another. But it’s pretty much the only way to get this done. And you can always remove the extension when you’re finished using it.

For now, we are going to use Social Book Post Manager for Google Chrome because we haven't been able to find a Firefox or Safari extension that works as easily, so even if you’re not a Chrome user, you’re probably best off installing Chrome temporarily just so you can use this extension to tidy up your Facebook account. To do that, just follow these steps steadily ( continue reading: http://www.techdavids.com/2018/03/how-you-can-quickly-delete-much-old.html?m=1#.WrpE870o_qA
