1. How to Delete All Facebook Posts from Computer Web Browser
To delete all old posts on your personal Facebook account, you need to filter out the posts that you no longer want to appear (up to 50 posts) and press delete to completely remove them from your Facebook activity log. The specific steps to take are as follows:
Step 1: Access Facebook from the web browser on your computer and log in to your account. Next, click on the avatar to go to your personal Facebook page.
Step 2: Tap the three-dot icon at the top right corner of the screen, then select 'activity log'.
Step 3: In the activity log section, tap on 'your posts'. The system will scan and return all posts on your personal Facebook page.
At this point, you can utilize filters to sort posts by year or by person. Using filters will help you quickly find old posts on Facebook that you want to delete instead of scrolling through each post on the timeline. However, with this action, you can only select a maximum of 50 posts at a time.
Step 4: After filtering, tap 'select all' to choose all posts or individually select each post on Facebook that you want to delete, then tap 'remove'.
Step 5: The screen will display a notification moving your posts to the trash. Tap 'move to trash' to complete the process of deleting all Facebook posts. Your posts will be automatically deleted by the system after 30 days.
Alternatively, you can utilize the option of locking your Facebook account to hide your posts.

2. How to Delete All Facebook Posts on Android, IOS
In the settings management section of Facebook, you can transfer posts from your personal page to an archive for your eyes only. However, if you opt to move posts to the trash, the system will automatically delete them after 30 days.
Step 1: Launch the Facebook app on your phone and log in to your account.
Step 2: On the Facebook home screen, tap the Facebook menu (three horizontal lines icon) at the top right corner of the screen and select view your profile.
Step 3: Tap the three dots (...) next to the 'edit profile' box for more options.
Step 4: Select 'activity log' in the settings interface of your Facebook profile page.
Step 5: The screen displays all the options available for managing your Facebook activity log. Here, select 'manage your posts'
Step 6: A list of all your Facebook posts will appear. You can continue to use filters at the top of the activity log to select how to filter posts as desired.
Step 7: Select the 'all' box for the posts you want to delete according to the filter or the list of posts displayed on the screen, then click 'remove'. Next, click 'move to trash' to temporarily delete the post. After 30 days, if the posts in the trash are not restored, the Facebook system will automatically delete these posts.
Apart from the method to delete all Facebook posts above, users can also delete posts on Facebook, Facebook groups, or Facebook fan pages using Chrome extensions such as:
- Extensions for deleting photos, deleting all photos on Facebook: Delete my post on Facebook, Social Book Post Manager,...
- Extensions for deleting all posts on Facebook groups, Facebook fan pages: Delete all posts on fan / business page
However, this deletion process can only be done on a computer, and users need to install additional extensions from the Chrome browser on their computer and learn how to use them. Because this method is quite complex, Mytour will only introduce the extensions without providing specific instructions for users.
