I wrote a similar tool in Node a while back that can delete by year and category:

And one to download all "Photos of you", which Facebook doesn't include when downloading your data:

Ouch, almost all of my pictures of me have been uploaded by other people. I had this suspicion yet kept telling myself I'd once build it. Thanks for the heads up.

I hate the pic attrition on Facebook. As people unfriend me or delete albums, some of the best moments captured of my life are erased. They really should be included in the archive download and more strongly link to your account.

Seeing as we're sharing, here's my (previously posted to HN) effort:

It works very well, but needs Windows.

Heh, your blog post about that was the inspiration for mine, thanks.

Nice. Running Fb-Delete. I couldn't get the DeleteFB to work so I'm running yours instead. Any idea how long it takes if you got 1000s of posts?

Did you get it to work? It just hung after an uncaught exception for me.

Edit: had to disable 2FA to get it to work.
