For some of us who have been on Facebook for a long time, we have amassed it’s likely that you’ve accumulated a lot of posts, most of which could be a bit embarrassing a few years down the road. You may want to hide your past entries from a potential employer or a college admissions board — or you may just want to enhance your personal security by eliminating identifiable information.

Early in June, Facebook announced a new bulk-delete feature for the mobile app that it calls Manage Activity, and that makes it easier to get rid of all of your past posts. The idea is that you will now have the ability to select some or all of your posts and delete them all at once. However, if you really want to clean up your Facebook backlog, this version of the feature leaves something to be desired.
Here’s how it currently works:
- On your Profile page, tap on the three dots next to “Add to Story”
- Select “Activity Log”
- You’ll now be on the Activity Log page. At the top, tap on the button labeled “Manage Activity”
- You’ll get a “Manage Activity” pop-up; tap on “Your Posts”
- You’ll now be at the “Manage Your Posts” page. At the top of the page, there are three buttons: Filter, Archive, and Trash.
Facebook says that the Manage Activity will only be available on the mobile app for now, but it will eventually appear on the desktop version.
