Mass Delete Your Nextdoor Posts
The audience for your old Nextdoor posts isn't strangers. It's the people you wave at on the way to work and walk past on your evening walk, and every post carries your real name. Redact works through years of neighborhood posts in one run, or narrows in on a date range and content keywords when only certain posts need to disappear.
Free for your last 30 days of posts & comments.

Your posting history is a profile of your household
Nextdoor isn't an anonymous forum. Your posts carry your real name and your neighborhood, and they stay up until you deal with them.
Your audience is your actual neighbors
The people reading your posts are the same ones you pass on the sidewalk. Every old post is still part of how they see you, whether or not you remember writing it.
Old disputes don't age well
A heated post about the HOA, the fireworks, or a neighbor's parking reads very differently once the moment passes. Clearing the old flashpoints removes them without touching the posts that still help people.
Years of posts add up to a pattern
One post is harmless. Years of them describe your street, your schedule, your household, and when you're away. Trimming your history keeps that picture from sitting in one convenient place under your real name.
Doing it by hand is brutal
Nextdoor has no bulk delete. Working back through years of posting means finding every post and clicking through the same menu over and over. Redact runs the whole queue for you.
Delete everything, or only what you name
Redact loads your Nextdoor posting history and queues exactly the batch you define.
Tick Posts as the content to delete and leave the filters blank, and Redact queues your entire posting history in a single run. Or narrow it first: a date range limits the sweep to a window, content keywords limit it to posts that mention what you name, and a second keyword list marks posts you want kept no matter what.
Keyword matching reads the post subject and body together, so a phrase in either one counts as a match. The filters stack, so you can clear posts about one topic inside one window and leave everything else alone. Nothing is removed until you say so: run a Preview first and Redact shows the exact list it matched.

The controls that shape the batch
Leave them all blank to queue every post on the account, or stack them until the batch holds only what you want gone.
Date range
Set absolute dates, or a relative range like "older than a year" that stays accurate every time a scheduled cleanup runs. Presets go from yesterday back to all time.
Content keywords to delete
Only delete posts containing one of these words or phrases. Redact reads the post subject and body, so a match in either one queues the post.
Content keywords to preserve
Always preserve posts containing one of these words or phrases. Useful for keeping the recommendation threads and lost-pet posts your neighbors still use.
Comments in the same run
Tick Comments alongside Posts and one run clears both. The comments page walks through targeting them on their own.
Preview it, review it, delete it, or repeat it
Preview
Run your filters dry and see every post that matched. Nothing is deleted during a preview, so this is where you tighten the batch.
Deletion
One-shot wipe. Redact works through the queue and clears every matching post while you watch it happen.
Review and Delete
Batch-by-batch control. Look over the matches and select or de-select individual posts before they're removed.
Schedule
Hands-off recurring runs, so posts that match your rules get cleared on whatever cadence you set. Scheduled deletion is a paid-plan feature.

Delete, and keep your own copy
Start the deletion and Redact works through the queue from your machine, showing each post as it goes. Turn the archiver on first and every post in the batch is saved to a local archive on your device before it's removed.
Nothing leaves your device
Redact runs on your own computer and talks straight to Nextdoor from there, so your login and your posts never pass through a Redact server. The local archive stays on your machine too, and you can disconnect Nextdoor at any time.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Tick Posts, leave the date range and keyword filters blank, and Redact queues every post it can find on your account. Run a preview first to see the full list, then start the deletion and Redact works through it from your machine.
Yes. The date range filter takes absolute dates or a relative range, with presets from yesterday back to all time. Relative ranges recalculate on every run, so a rule like "older than a year" stays accurate on a schedule.
Yes. Add words or phrases to the content keywords list and only posts containing one of them are queued. Redact reads the post subject and body together, and matching ignores capitalisation, so you don't have to guess how you typed it at the time.
Use the preserve keyword list. Any post containing one of those words or phrases is kept, even when the other filters match it. You can also run Review and Delete and de-select individual posts before the batch runs.
Yes, a few. Posts that Nextdoor itself marks as non-deletable are skipped automatically rather than failing the run. And if Nextdoor doesn't confirm a delete, Redact skips that item instead of assuming it worked, so it gets picked up again on your next run.
Not from inside Redact, and not from Nextdoor. That's what Preview mode is for. Turn the archiver on if you want your own copy of everything the run removes, saved locally on your device.
Posts from the last 30 days are free to delete, with every filter available. Posts older than 30 days are covered by Premium, as is scheduling the cleanup so it repeats on its own.
