Hey Privacy Community, all of the reddit craziness let me to discover Redact which really led me down a rabbit hole of deleting lots of old posts… everywhere.
Unsurprisingly, Facebook is a problem. Redact deleted lots of content for me, great, but I still have a lot of photos in my “Mobile Uploads” folder. It’s not possible to delete this folder. Their Help pages say I should be be able to delete individual photos, but I promise you, that’s not an option in my UI. Am I missing something? I’d appreciate any tips!

what do you mean? you can’t delete the photos? like, there is no option in the ui to delete it? if yes, i think it has been deleted but it’s in the trash. i noticed before when i was deleting photos, i still see it in the mobile uploads folder but only in view mode, there is no clickable option like delete. deleting photos on facebook will not be completely deleted immediately, it will stay in the trash for 30 days and you have the option to restore or delete it permanently. just check your facebook account activity log and look for “trash”.
