The Verge: “We’ve been living with social media for a long time now — Facebook opened up to the public in 2006 — and that means a lengthy trail of posts stretching back through the years. While this does let you take a nostalgic trip into the past with just a few clicks, it can also bring up some embarrassing and awkward memories. Maybe your Twitter takes from 10 years ago haven’t aged well, or there’s an ex-partner you’d rather not remember, or you’re heading for a job interview and don’t want your would-be employers to judge who you are now from your decades-old social media posts. Whatever the reason, you can find and delete ancient social media posts without too much difficulty using the web or mobile apps. (They say that anything on the internet is forever, of course, but you can do your best to at least somewhat mute your mistakes. Who knows? Maybe your potential new boss never heard of the Wayback Machine.) We’ve included instructions for Facebook, X, and Instagram, as these are the places where you’re most likely to have posted content you’ve long since forgotten about.”
