Friendly guides to a tidier Facebook.

Short, plain-English walk-throughs for clearing out your old Facebook — posts, comments, likes, reactions and Activity Log history. Start with the guide that matches what you want to remove, then work through the rest at your own pace.

Start with the thing you actually want gone.

Facebook keeps old activity in separate places: posts, comments, likes, reactions and saved history all live in different parts of the Activity Log. These guides are split the same way, so you do not have to understand Facebook's settings before you begin.

Best first step: if you have years of Facebook history, begin with old posts. They are usually the most visible, and the easiest place to see how Tidy works before moving on to comments and likes.

Clear out the everyday stuff.

Delete old posts

Remove posts from years gone by without clicking through them one by one. Good for profile clean-ups, job searches, or simply making your Facebook feel less cluttered.

What to do before you delete.

Deleting old Facebook activity is permanent, so it is worth taking a minute to choose the right starting point.

If you might want old posts, photos or comments later, read the data download guide first.

Start small

Clear one section first. You will see how Tidy counts items, removes them, and lets you stop before tackling a larger history.

Keep Facebook in English

Tidy works best when Facebook is set to English, because Facebook's menus and labels change between languages.
