Manual cleanup
Best for a small list. It is slow, but every action is visible. Use it for groups or friends you are unsure about.
Facebook cleanup guide
Facebook cleanup best practices
The best bulk cleanup method is not the fastest one. It is the one that lets you review Facebook groups, pages, follows, friends, and sent requests before anything runs.
01 / Methods
Compare cleanup methods
Console scripts
Fast, but hard to audit. Scripts often lack review, stop controls, receipts, and adaptation when Facebook changes layouts.
Web services
Be careful with any service that asks for a Facebook password or moves data outside the browser. That is usually more access than a cleanup job needs.
Review-first extension
Best for repeated cleanup. Bulk Group Leaver & Cleanup scans pages you already have open, keeps data local, and lets you pause or stop.
02 / Checklist
Before you run any cleanup
- Start small.Test a few low-risk items before a larger group, page, follow, friend, or request cleanup.
- Review admin groups.Do not bulk-leave groups you manage without checking ownership and handoff needs.
- Keep important contacts.Friend removal can be hard to undo if you do not remember who was removed.
- Avoid passwords.A cleanup tool should not need your Facebook password for this workflow.
- Use visible controls.You should be able to pause, resume, or stop instead of waiting for a hidden script.

04 / FAQ
Cleanup questions
What is safest?
Review first, process in smaller batches, and keep stop controls visible.
Where does data go?
Facebook list data stays in local Chrome storage. License checks contact Gumroad and the activation service only for payment/license status.
Is it only groups?
No. Version 0.5.1 covers groups, liked pages, follows, friends, and sent friend requests.
Use the free run as a safety check.
Scan first, process up to 3 ready items, then decide whether the $9 one-time Pro unlock is worth larger cleanup sessions.
