That was my plan a while ago, just delete all my posts and undo everything I can.
Doing this manually is an unpleasant undertaking riddled from start to finish with dark patterns that can only be described as malicious and petty.
I did not use a tool and did not even have many posts or likes and I was still unable to remove everything after 3 (!) runs. And even then I had to ask others for help to confirm whether something was truly gone because what Facebook showed me and what it showed others differed. Because of those tactics employed by Facebook I'm still unsure whether I got everything...
God I wish I never created an account, I certainly do not miss its usage even a bit but it feels like such a stain on my digital life.
- joshmanders 6y agoIt took me on average about 3 hours a day for 1.5 weeks to manually use Facebook's "manage posts" bulk deletion tool and even then I didn't get everything deleted, as posts to my wall for my birthday were grouped up and in those groups I could only hide them, with ~1500 friends over 13 years, I opted to hide most of them. At least content I posted was gone.
