I think Facebook's new features are good. They made me realize how much of my old crap (status updates, comments, etc) Facebook has stored. So I deleted everything older than one month, using the new Activity Log view and some Selenium scripts.
- tommi 15y agoI'm sure you didn't delete those. You only hid them from the timeline. There's a huge difference. I have hid many the old stuff too, but sometimes, especially with timeline transition, few old items kept popping up and wouldn't hide until fifth or so times clicking the hide button.
- kennu 15y agoI didn't hide them, I clicked "Remove Post", "Remove Comment" etc. for each. Of course, Facebook probably archives them somewhere anyway.
- pedrolll 15y agoI did the same thing. Delete everything. Although, some actions you can only "hide", like comments on other people's walls and such. At least that's my understanding.
- jarek 15y agoFor what it's worth, I routinely delete status updates and have never had one come back in a redesign. Other activity might not be as fortunate.
- sek 15y agoSame experience, i think they delete nothing at all.

- vimalg2 15y agoI did the same for my posts and photos, except it was the final act BEFORE i deleted my Facebook profile 3 months ago. Its not like i trust Facebook to honour the deletes, but one must try one's best.
