If you have ever had a conversation with a friend where they talk about how they can’t stand deleting old posts on their social media platforms, you’re not alone. The pressure to keep up with our social media platforms can be overwhelming, and sometimes it’s hard to let go of old posts.
But, as we all know, it’s important to clean up our social media platforms periodically in order to keep them looking fresh and new. And, if you’re like most people, you probably delete old posts automatically without giving them a second thought. But, is deleting old posts really the best thing for your social media platform? Here are four reasons you should reconsider deleting old posts automatically.
How to auto delete old files in Windows
If you use Windows and have more than one computer, you may have noticed that every now and then you might accidentally delete a file that you don’t need. Windows has a feature called “auto delete” that can help you keep your computer clean and organized.
When you create a new file, Windows creates a special folder called the “bin” folder. This folder is located in the same folder as the file you’ve just created. Windows also stores any old versions of the file in this folder.
If you decide that you don’t need a file any more, you can delete it by selecting it and clicking on the “Delete” button. Windows will ask you if you want to delete the file permanently or just delete it from the “bin” folder. If you choose to delete the file permanently, Windows will also remove it from your computer’s hard drive.
How to auto delete old files in Mac
If you want to automatically delete old files (files older than a certain number of days, weeks, or months) on your Mac, there are a few different ways to do this.
One way is to use the Time Machine feature in Mac OS X.
Time Machine allows you to easily browse through your entire history of files and folders, and select specific files or folders to be deleted. Simply choose how long you want the files to be kept before they are automatically deleted, and Time Machine will take care of the rest.
If you don’t want to use Time Machine, you can use the Finder’s “File History” feature. This feature allows you to view a list of all the files that have been saved to your Mac, and select which ones you want to delete.
Finally, you can use the “File Append” feature in the Finder to automatically delete certain files after a certain amount of time has passed. This is useful if you want to keep a certain number of older files on your Mac, but you don’t want them to take up space on your hard drive.
How to auto delete old files in Linux

How to auto delete old files in Android
If you’re like most people, you probably have a ton of photos, videos, and other files stored on your Android device. And, like most things in life, you probably don’t need all of those files anymore.
One way to get rid of old files on your Android device is to use the auto delete feature. Auto delete will automatically remove old files from your device if they’re more than 30 days old and you don’t have any other storage space available on your device.
To use auto delete, first make sure you have at least 1GB of free storage space on your device. Then, open the Settings app and go to the storage category. From here, you’ll be able to see all the storage spaces on your device.
Next, tap on the auto delete button next to the file you want to delete. If the file is more than 30 days old, auto delete will automatically remove it from your device.
If you want to stop auto deleting files, simply tap on the auto delete button again and auto delete will stop deleting files until you change your mind.
