How to Bulk Delete Old Posts On Your Facebook Timeline?(Browser)
You can delete everything on your Facebook timeline from the platform itself. And you don’t need to use any third-party extensions or tools to mass delete posts on Facebook. You can try these extensions, but most often than not, they don’t work correctly. Although clearing all your Facebook posts at once using FB settings can be a little tricky, you can be assured that it works and doesn’t hurt your Facebook account.
We have divided the process of mass deleting all Facebook posts at once into two parts for your understanding. Follow the steps properly to bulk delete all old Facebook posts at one time:
Step 1: Send FB Posts in Trash
- Open Facebook
- Click on the down arrow to open the Facebook menu
- Select Settings & Privacy
- Click on the Activity log
- Go to “Your Posts”
- Select “All”
When you select all, Facebook only selects the posts that are loaded on the page. A lot of people make the mistake of believing that these are all the posts they have shared and uploaded on Facebook. It is not. You need to scroll to the bottom of the page to load the remaining posts. Keep scrolling till you reach the bottom of all your posts. When you have reached your oldest Facebook post, scroll to the top of the page using the scroll bar and once again click on All.
Our post number went from 25 to 275 after this step.
- After clicking on “All,” Select “Trash” from the menu that appears at the top
- Confirm your decision to send all your Facebook posts to Trash
Facebook keeps the posts in your trash for the next 30 days. It gives you the opportunity to restore your posts in case you change your mind. You can use this guide to bulk delete old Facebook posts as well. Unselect the posts you don’t want to delete.
Now that you have sent all your FB posts in the trash, you can either wait 30 days to let Facebook permanently delete all your posts or Go to the trash section and clear all your FB posts yourself.
Note: Once you send all your posts in Trash, it has been cleared from your Facebook timeline. No one can view your posts anymore. So you can leave it in the trash and let Facebook take care of it after 30 days. However, if you are impatient to permanently delete every Facebook post, then carry on with the next step.
Step 2: Permanently Delete Facebook Posts From Trash Without Deleting FB Account
Follow the same first 3 steps as above and then:
- Click on the Activity log
- Scroll down and Select Trash
- Click on “All”
- Select Delete
- Re-confirm your decision to permanently delete all your Facebook posts
- Enter your password
- Re-enter your password
It’s done! You have successfully mass deleted everything on the Facebook timeline without any third-party extension or tool.
You can delete Facebook posts all at once from your timeline in two simple steps mentioned above. Once you delete the posts, you cannot get them back; hence it’s vital that you are sure about this decision. Next, you can archive the posts instead of clearing them from the timeline permanently. The steps will remain the same; instead of trash, select archive after clicking on “All.”
Deleting every post individually is a tiresome task, and we would never let you suffer that torture. Instead, follow our guide to delete all FB posts in one go from your PC.
