Any time is a good time to clean up your social media accounts, removing posts or photos that are embarrassing or that you just don’t want to see any more. Fortunately, there are tools to help.
To remove posts and likes on Facebook, you can go into the activity log where almost every user action is recorded chronologically.
However, there’s no batch delete option and you’ll have to delete posts one at a time. So this can be very time-consuming – especially if you use Facebook every day.

One tool that can help is the Social Book Post Manager extension for the Chrome browser. You can set conditions such as year, month or “Text contains” and the tool will scan through your activity log and delete posts that meet those criteria.

Although it is a search engine and not a social network, Google can store lots of information about you – old and new, wanted and unwanted.
