How to Automatically Delete Facebook Posts

Managing your Facebook history shouldn’t be overwhelming. Today, Redact.dev introduces Disappearing Mode for Facebook — allowing you to automatically delete posts, comments, likes, and more after a set time period, giving you full control over your Facebook presence.

Apps like Snapchat, Telegram, and Signal have popularized disappearing content. Now, with Redact, you can bring that same automatic cleanup feature to Facebook, making your timeline more focused, private, and up to date.

If you’re looking for a simple way to auto-delete old Facebook posts, remove outdated comments, or clean up Facebook likes, Disappearing Mode was built for you.

What is Disappearing Mode?

Disappearing Mode is a powerful feature that lets you automatically delete your Facebook content after a chosen period of time. You decide what types of content to target, how long to keep it, and when it should vanish — without needing to manually comb through your history.

With Disappearing Mode on Facebook, you can:

• Auto-delete old posts after a set number of days, weeks, or months
• Remove comments you’ve made on posts
• Clean up old likes, tags, and other interactions
• Protect your privacy by keeping your profile fresh and intentional

How to Set Up Disappearing Mode

To get started, download Redact.dev if you haven’t already. Create an account and sign in. A Premium subscription unlocks Disappearing Mode for full Facebook control, but a free trial also lets you test bulk deletions for the most recent content.

Once you’re signed in, go to the Disappearing Mode section from the left-hand menu.

Select Facebook as the platform you want to set up for auto-deletion.

Choose the types of Facebook content you want to delete automatically. You can select from:

• Posts
• Comments
• Likes
• Tags

After picking the content types, set your Preservation window. This determines how long new Facebook content will remain visible before Redact deletes it. You can choose to preserve content for any number of weeks, days, or even just hours, with a minimum of 24 hours.

Finally, adjust additional settings if needed. You can opt to protect all older content that existed before you set up Disappearing Mode, ensuring only new posts follow the new auto-delete rules.

If you’re using an hourly preservation window, you’ll be able to delete content more often – if this is selected, Redact will check for new content every hour.

Once configured, Redact will automatically monitor and delete your Facebook activity based on the rules you’ve set — with no further action needed from you.
