Tutorial to help you remove all old posts from your Facebook Timeline
Many times, it happens that we had made a FB post years ago and it could come to haunt us at present. Imagine all those posts you made when you were in your College or University and now they may pop up suddenly one day on your timeline to embarrass you.
