Many people began using Facebook when it was launched for the first time. If you are still using Facebook today, then you may have created very many posts over the years. When you scroll through your old posts on Facebook, you may find the need to delete some. But can you delete Facebook posts in bulk?

Yes, you can! Facebook introduced the Manage Activity feature that allows users to manage various activities on their accounts. Facebook users can also use the feature to delete old posts in bulk. How cool! In a previous related article, we discussed how you can delete/remove all likes on Facebook and Instagram.

This piece highlights how you can delete Facebook posts in bulk.
