When you delete something using ‘Move to Trash‘, the deleted content isn’t permanently deleted from your Facebook account. The deleted items are instead moved to the trash folder and are automatically deleted after 30 days.

Thankfully, you can restore deleted posts within 30 days or delete them earlier from your Trash. Besides, one can move the deleted stuff from the trash to the archive, in case they want to hide it from everyone but themselves.

Seemingly, a lot of people delete posts and wish to recover them later. Well, you can simply get back deleted posts on your Facebook timeline if you know where is trash located on Facebook.

That said, it can be tricky for most people to find trash posts on the Facebook app and website. That’s because there is no shortcut to the Trash folder anywhere in the Menu or profile tab.

Where is Recycle Bin on Facebook for desktop, iPhone, and Android?

To find trash on Facebook, you have to go to Activity Log, a place where you can view and manage your account activity. The Activity Log section also lets you access the Trash and Archive directory.

Here’s how you can go to your trash folder on the Facebook app and desktop.

You can now view all the items stored in your trash and they are only visible to you.

Facebook posts moved to trash are automatically deleted after 30 days and cannot be restored later.

It is however possible to delete content from the trash before it gets permanently deleted on its own. You can selectively delete multiple posts or all the content from your Facebook trash at once.

To do so, navigate to the Trash folder following the above-stated steps. Then select the post or status you’d like to delete forever from Facebook. Tap the ‘Delete‘ option and select Delete again to confirm.
