Facebook's Manage Activity lets you easily delete or archive posts and photos

The subtext seems to be that it’s better to maintain a curated presence on Facebook than delete the app entirely.

Facebook recently introduced what it’s calling “Manage Activity,” a way for Facebook users either to archive or entirely delete older posts that they simply want expunged from the social network.

Facebook, which came under fire for refusing to take down a controversial post by President Trump (go.pcworld.com/ cnps), now offers users the ability to delete their own controversies. The Manage Activity feature will launch first on the mobile version of Facebook, then on the desktop and on Facebook Lite in the future.
