Heavily modified fork of https://github.com/spieglt/fb-delete. Credit goes to spieglt for the code base. Please visit his repo and give him some love!
GUI wrapper around a modified version of spieglt's code. Punch in your username and password, select categories of data you want to delete, along with the years and months, and let the scripts clean up your awkward posts from your college years! :)
Don't forget to back up your FB first! https://www.facebook.com/help/131112897028467 I am NOT responsible if this ends up nuking your favorite memories, so BE CAREFUL.
As with spieglt's original code, none of your data (username, password, or anything else) is sent to me or anywhere other than Facebook's servers. It does not install a browser plugin. This is your computer talking to facebook.com by way of a Node script/Puppeteer. Puppeteer is a Node package developed by Google's Chrome team and allows you to drive a Chrome window programmatically.
If you like what you see, consider some support! I enjoy making these in my free time, and a few bucks here and there always helps! buymeacoff.ee/1YHBCu3Fq

If you rather build from source, do this instead:
- Install Node.js/NPM: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
- Download the Source code from the https://github.com/alexjyong/FaceSpaceCleaner/releases link.
- Open up a command prompt, Run
npm installto install dependencies, and wait for it to finish. - Then run
npm start.
First: backup your Facebook data: https://www.facebook.com/help/131112897028467 (recommended, just in case)
Then: You will be prompted for your username, password, the categories of content you'd like to delete, and the year you'd like to delete. A Chrome window will then open to the basic mobile version of Facebook, log you in, navigate to your Activity Log, and start deleting by category and year. You may have to run multiple times to get everything.

I accept no responsiblity if this program mucks up your FB or deletes anything you rather keep. If you are worried about that, I recommend not using this program. :)
Also remember, nothing is truly gone from the internet. This data is probably stored somewhere else, even if you "delete" it from your account. That being said, it does help to clean up your FB once in awhile. You might not be able to hide from the NSA, but you can hide from nosey Joe Schmoes. :)
IF YOU SELECT THE CATEGORY "Added Friends" FOR 2017, IT WILL UNFRIEND EVERY PERSON YOU BECAME FRIENDS WITH IN 2017!
IF YOU SELECT THE CATEGORY "Photos and Videos" FOR 2008, IT WILL DELETE EVERY PHOTO YOU UPLOADED IN 2008! BEWARE!
