View Full Version : My Facebook restored all of my old posts when I had originally deleted them!

So I had always had my Facebook clean from old posts, but when I signed on just now. It had all my posts I had made since I started. Why?

I did have my Facebook deactivated for a while, but I never noticed all those posts.

What do you mean 'clean' from old posts? Did you delete the posts or just hide them from your timeline? If you just hid them then deactivating then reactivating may have caused them to unhide.

Facebook always does trippy annoying things like that. I tend not to use it a lot for that reason.

Everything! On the Internet is permanent. You may have thought you deleted them, but I suppose they were still in the database. FB is glitchy, so they probably reappeared after some sort of change on your part or on Facebook's behalf.

This. It probably reset when you reactivated your account.
