https://github.com/weskerfoot/DeleteFB works like a charm if you speak unix ;-) i used the OSX 10.14.4 "dialect" and got rid of almost 10 years of posts, in about 8 hours of runtime in terminal.

Windows 10 install

Make sure Requirements for Installing Packages are fullfilled.
Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required... and a PITA to get a hold on - but this helped me to get it up and running.
Install DeleteFB from PyPI with pip3 install --user delete-facebook-posts
When everything works out you should end up with these lines:

 Installing collected packages: bitarray, pybloom-live, delete-facebook-posts
   WARNING: The script deletefb.exe is installed in 'C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\Scripts' which is not on PATH.
   Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.
 Successfully installed bitarray-1.0.1 delete-facebook-posts-1.1.8 pybloom-live-3.0.0
 
 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools>

Explanation on how to use DeleteFB.exe is avilable here.

NOTE: I dropped the chromedriver.exe in the folder:

 C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps

wich is included in the PATH environment and it worked fine.
