I glanced at a post on reddit yesterday and someone had posted links to tools that will scrub your facebook page entirely and one that scrubbed everything on your page except for the last two weeks. I’ve been on there for about four years and have deleted many old posts but I have many things that I’ve “liked” (books, films, music, businesses, whatever) over the years and I’d love for them to all go away along with any posts that I’ve made. I thought it was interesting at the time but the more I think about it, the more I think I would be interested in such a tool. I am unable to find the reddit post and feel that the STMB is a more reliable source for finding a tool if one exists and/or if it works. Thanks in advance z ---

ooh, I would love to find some way to erase facebook messages I wrote to girl I’m not friends with anymore. FB can be a real\* PITA\* sometimes. ---

So, you’re looking for a way to scrub your FB page clean and smooth, like an ice skating rink? ---

Pretty much, I’m the admin for a very active fan club page with over 3000 members. I fear that if I just close my account, and open a new one, this page might go away and I don’t want that to happen. I’ve deleted all of my “likes” but it still shows me as having 42 “likes.” I would like to clean it an easy way but am doing it one at a time:rolleyes: ---

A pointer to the “all but the last two weeks” (or whatever) method would be great.
