How to delete all your Facebook posts

You can also select Activity You’re Tagged In and then click All–>Remove Tags to remove any embarrassing posts your friends or family have included you in from your profile.
The process is pretty much the same using the mobile app. First, navigate your profile and tap the three-dot icon on the left.
From there, select Activity Log from your Profile Settings.
On the next page, select either Manage Your Posts or Manage Your Tags to remove things you’ve posted or remove posts others have tagged you in from your profile.
Tap All and the Trash icon to delete all posts or tags. Under tags, the option will appear as Remove Tags.
Deleting all your Facebook posts is as simple as that. It’s almost like you are a whole new person.
