DeleteActivity

At some point you scroll back through your Facebook activity log and wince. Old posts, comments and likes pile up there, and removing them one by one is slow. DeleteActivity, an extension for Chrome and Edge, turns the job into three steps. You log into Facebook as usual, open the extension from the toolbar, and choose what to clean: posts, comments, likes or messages, narrowed by date range or keywords.

You get to look over the matched list before anything runs, which is reassuring. Then you start the cleanup and watch progress on a dashboard. When it's done you can export the deleted items as CSV or JSON, so you keep a record of what went.

The extension doesn't connect through an official Facebook API and never asks for your password. It works inside the session you already have open. According to the privacy policy, last updated April 8, 2026, Facebook activity is processed locally and your content never leaves your device. The account side only holds name, email, billing and usage data, with payments through Paddle.

The flip side of driving your own session is that it acts the way you would, many times over. The site advertises "anti-ban" rate limiting that slows deletions to reduce the risk of Facebook flagging the account. That's a sign the platform may not welcome this kind of automation, so it makes sense to run large cleanups in stages.

Two cautions first. The FAQ is clear that deletion is permanent and content generally can't be restored afterwards. Messages need a little care too: the project describes message cleanup as covering eligible messages you sent, so don't expect it to clear both sides of every Messenger conversation.

On price, the free Starter plan removes up to 30 activities a day and includes the export. Monthly is $12 per user for unlimited deletions, and Annual is $72 a year. DeleteActivity comes from the same maker as DeleteTweets, DeleteTik and BskyDelete, and its pages don't name a company. If your old timeline has been bothering you, the free plan is an easy way to try a small, filtered cleanup and see how it goes.
