I wanted to delete all my content from 2011 and back. Turns out, it’s impossible because when I click on the delete button, Facebook shows me an error. My deleted content is also kept on the server and I can clearly see it’s there when I find one picture by its url and I navigate left and right from it. It shows the previously deleted images. Here’s my first message to Facebook, I’ll post my struggle here with them, it’ll be surely a lengthy procedure:

In case you are processing anonymised data concerning me, please not only inform me about that but also explain the procedure used in an easily understandable way.
