How to Delete All Posts on Facebook

Do you have a lot of old posts on Facebook?

If you do, you might want to delete them to clear your Facebook profile.

Deleting a Facebook post is easy—simply navigate to the post and tap on the three dots.

Then, tap on “Move to trash” to delete it.

Items in your trash will no longer be shown on your Facebook profile.

In addition, they’ll be automatically deleted after 30 days—similar to the “Recently Deleted” album on iOS devices.

To speed up the process, you need to delete them in bulk.

In other words, it’s better to delete all of your Facebook posts at once.
