Delete Your Old Posts on X, Threads and Facebook

Delete your X history

Upload your archive, say exactly what goes, and leave. The job runs on a server, so it keeps going with the tab shut, the laptop closed and you asleep. It has to: X allows fifty deletions every fifteen minutes, and twenty thousand posts is four days of waiting.

Official API, OAuth 2.0, no password 50 deletes / 15 min Dry run first, always

Connect your X account

You approve this on x.com. We never see your password, and you can revoke it in two clicks.

Bring your own X app. X makes every tool use a developer app. Making one takes about three minutes, and it keeps the rate limits and the bill on your account instead of ours. The free tier ended in February 2026, so you will buy credits from X directly — at cost, with nothing added by us. Show me how →

OAuth 2.0 Client ID

Client Secret (confidential apps only)

Encrypted (AES-256-GCM) against your session and thrown away when you disconnect.

Opens x.com. You approve the permissions there.

Where the list comes from

If you have posted more than about 3,200 times, the archive is the only source that can see all of it.

Getting your archive: on x.com, Settings → Your account → Download an archive of your data. X emails a link, usually inside 24 hours. Upload the .zip exactly as it arrives — do not unpack it first.

Read this bit.

Deletion is permanent. X has no undo and no bin. Whatever you tick here is gone for good.
A long job is normal, not a bug. Fifty deletions per fifteen minutes means 20,000 posts takes about four days.
Bursts of automated activity can get an account temporarily locked. This paces itself on purpose. Do not run two jobs against one account to go faster.
Keep the .zip. Once the posts are gone it is the only copy of them that exists.

Pause or cancel at any point.

Clean up Threads

Threads is the one Meta surface with a deletion API that actually works. Meta allows a hundred deletions per profile per day, so a thousand posts is a ten-day job. It runs without you.

Connect Threads

Needs the threads_basic and threads_delete permissions.

Pick what goes, then run it

Your posts are listed through the official API, and what matches the filters is deleted.

Dry runList everything. Delete nothing.

A hundred deletions per 24 hours. Meta's limit, not ours, and there is no way to buy past it. A thousand posts is about ten days. The job survives that comfortably and picks itself back up.

Facebook

The honest version, which you will not get from the tools selling you this: your personal timeline cannot be bulk-deleted by any API, ours included. Here is what can be automated, and how to do the rest by hand without getting your account locked.

What is and is not possible

Nobody can honestly promise more than this without breaking Meta's terms on your behalf.

Personal timeline posts cannot be deleted through any API. Meta removed publish_actions in Graph API v3.0 back in 2018 and never replaced it. The user_posts permission reads and nothing more. Any tool claiming to bulk-delete your timeline automatically is either driving your logged-in browser session or calling private endpoints. Both break Facebook's terms, and both are a well-known way to get locked out. We will not ship that.

What this does instead:

Deletes posts and your own comments on Facebook Pages you administer, fully automated, through the official Graph API.
Reads your Download Your Information export offline and tells you how much is where, so you know which years are worth attacking.
Walks you through Manage Activity, Facebook's own bulk tool, fifty items at a time.

Pages you manage

Fully supported. Posts and page comments, deleted through the Graph API.

Analyse your Facebook export

Find out how much history you actually have, by year. Read-only, and the file never leaves this tab.

Request it at Settings & privacy → Accounts Centre → Your information and permissions → Download your information. Choose JSON rather than HTML, include Posts and Comments, and set the range to all time.

Drop your Facebook export .zip here Read in this tab. Nothing is uploaded.

Deleting a personal timeline, the supported way

Facebook's own bulk tool. Tedious, and the only method that will not put your account at risk.

1. Open Manage Activity

On desktop: your profile → ⋯ → Activity log → Manage activity → Your posts. On mobile it hides under Menu → Settings & privacy → Activity log.

2. One year at a time

Use the Date filter and start at your oldest year. Short lists keep the page responsive, and you can always tell where you got to.

3. Public posts first

Add Audience → Public. Those are the ones strangers can find, so clearing them buys you most of the benefit for the least clicking.

4. Select and bin, fifty at a time

Facebook caps selection at 50 items per action. Tick the header checkbox to grab the batch, pick Bin to delete or Archive to hide, and go again.

5. Empty the bin

Binned items sit there for 30 days before Facebook removes them properly. That is your undo window — and it means nothing is really gone until you empty it or wait it out.

6. Comments and likes are a separate job

Switch the dropdown from Your posts to Comments, Likes and reactions or Tags. Each is its own list with its own fifty-at-a-time limit.

Extensions that click those buttons for you are automating your logged-in session, which Facebook's terms forbid and its automation detection is looking for. Your account, your call — but this tool will not be the one that does it.
