However, before you delete a post, make sure that you have reviewed it. If you delete the post by accident, you might not want it back on your timeline. So how do you delete them? Follow these steps:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_delete_facebook_posts_in_bulk\"><\/span>How to delete facebook posts in bulk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to remove or archive posts from Facebook. You can find the archives in the Activity log menu. You can also click the &#8220;Recycle Bin&#8221; button at the bottom of the post to see the content that has been deleted. If you want to delete posts by hand, you need to be logged in to Facebook. Follow the steps outlined in the guide below to get started. If you still have questions, feel free to comment below. You may also want to check out the rest of this article.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have found the posts you wish to remove, click on the &#8216;Delete&#8217; button. The posts will be deleted, but they will not appear on the page immediately. If you see them on the page, then you have selected them. After that, you can click &#8220;Refresh&#8221; and they will no longer appear in your list. You can also delete more posts by batch. However, it is important to note that once you have deleted a post, you cannot recover it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_hide_command\"><\/span>Using the hide command<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using the hide command to delete Facebook posts is an option on Facebook. The &#8216;Hide&#8217; command lets you hide your posts from everyone on Facebook, including the people you&#8217;ve tagged. However, it&#8217;s important to keep in mind that it won&#8217;t delete your friends or uploaded images or videos. Moreover, it may not work in all cases, so you should use this option carefully. Luckily, there are several other methods to clear your timeline, and we&#8217;ll discuss a few of them below.<\/p>\n<p>First, Facebook doesn&#8217;t allow you to select the &#8220;hide all&#8221; option, so it may not be safe to remove all posts at once. This option also leaves your profile open to hackers and bots. However, some third-party apps may be able to remove all your friends at once, so you have to use caution when using it. Another option is to use a third-party application to hide all your posts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_recycle_bin\"><\/span>Using the recycle bin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are tired of scrolling through your Facebook posts, you can use the recycle bin to permanently delete them. You don&#8217;t have to use a third-party app or delete your account, because Facebook keeps deleted posts in the recycle bin for 30 days. And if you want to delete multiple posts, you can do so at one time. Here&#8217;s how. First, open the Facebook app. Click Manage Activity.<\/p>\n<p>Then, select the trashcan next to the posts that you want to delete. You will see a list of the posts that are available in your trash. Tap the bin to delete them. A notice will appear that says &#8220;Trash this post.&#8221; Select Trash. The trash can be used to permanently delete a post. It will remain in the bin for 30 days. After that, it will be removed from your timeline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_archive_function\"><\/span>Using the archive function<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can use the archive function on Facebook to hide old posts and hide yourself from prying eyes. If you have accidentally posted a controversial topic, archiving it will prevent people from accessing it and you can re-post it to the same audience. Facebook allows you to archive posts on the web as well as its mobile app. Using the archive function is one of the easiest ways to delete old posts and hide yourself from prying eyes.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use the archive function to remove content you don&#8217;t want others to see. Once you have archived a post, it will no longer appear in your feed, but will still exist on Facebook. The archived posts will remain hidden and accessible only to the user who created the profile. If you&#8217;d like to delete your account entirely, you can also download all your posts and information. This will enable you to easily move on to the next step.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete Facebook Posts From Your Facebook Timeline Delete Facebook posts from your Facebook timeline by using the hide command or the recycle bin.
