Have a few posts on Facebook that you wish never made their way there? Well, now you can find, download and delete the data you no longer want on Facebook.

The company has introduced a new tool called Access Your Information – what it deems "a secure way for people to access and manage their information, such as posts, reactions, comments, and things you've searched for." Users can go here to delete anything from their timeline or profile that they don't want on Facebook anymore.
