[FAQ]

Right, I’ve been on Facebook for what feels like a lifetime and I’ve got loads of old posts from when I was a teenager that I’d like to sort out. Going back through my timeline and deleting them one by one would take me ages.

Is there not some sort of dashboard or a tool where you can see all your posts in a list and manage them in bulk? I’ve seen things mentioned like Business Suite and Activity Log but I’m not sure what’s for a personal profile versus a business page. I just need to do a big clean-up of my personal account.

A digital clean-up is always a smart move.

Direct Answer: For a personal profile, the tool you need is the ‘Manage Posts’ feature found within your Activity Log; the Meta Business Suite is for business pages.

This dashboard is designed specifically for the bulk management of all your past content formats.

To find it, navigate to your own profile page, select the three-dots menu, and then choose ‘Activity Log’. In that section, you will find a ‘Manage Your Posts’ tool. This will show your entire post history, including all your text updates, photo posts, and shared videos. You can then use the checkboxes to select multiple posts at once and choose to either Archive them, which hides them from view, or move them to the Trash for deletion. To make the task easier, use the filters to organise the list by a specific year or content type.

Cheers,

Jeff
