The feature will come to Facebook’s mobile apps first. It can be used to delete individual posts or in bulk. Facebook says it will offer filtering options to help find posts.

The feature is meant’to make it easy for you to curate your presence on Facebook to more accurately reflect who you are today’. It suggests that someone might want to delete old content when they’re about to start working full time after college or remove posts that remind them of an old relationship.

There are several options to remove a post from the timeline. It can be sent to the trash, where it will be removed from public viewing immediately but only permanently deleted 30 days later. Alternatively, a post can be archived, which means it’s no longer public but can still be viewed privately.

The company has yet to provide an official bulk-delete tool. It has proven to be a problem when old tweets have been dug up in an attempt to discredit or otherwise cause trouble for people.
