I decided to delete my old posts. I began to go back to my first post and deleted it. After deleting, the posts went back to most recent post. This takes time. Does anyone know an easy way to delete old posts?

The only way, really, is to delete them individually, as you have been doing. There IS another way but it's a bit drastic! That is to ask Admin to close your account so that you can open a new one but that means that ALL your posts and other activity will be gone and that could affect other people's discussions, too, if you had responded to them or commented in them.

@oahuwriter Unfortunately, that's the way it works. Why not just leave them - they aren't doing any harm and each one is a potential earner (if someone happens to want to open it and read it)?

@owlwings I agree. Unfortunately, few people take the time to scroll down on anyone's profile to find them. And while we can bring them to the fore by commenting something and putting them to the top of the heap on Most Recent Activity, hardly anyone uses Most Recent Activity either. lol. It's a conundrum.

No there is no other way as per my experience here. Why are you deleting your old posts by the way?

I think there is no other way. We can do it one by one.

@Shavkat I like to have just about a month of posts, free up space and keep it current.

The only way to delete our posts is how Owl explained. Why do you want to delete them? Let them there.

I am not clear what for you want to delete your posts. There is understandably no limit on mylot, one could start any number of posts and could retain it. I am of the opinion, you should not delete your own posts, as this will not help you in any manner.
