Not all remove it's Just Hidden. Just in case, All deleted pictures are stored in a hidden album on your facebook (So you can laugh about them later, or reinstate if the relationship is rekindeled).
According to underrated boy band together, "The hardest part of breaking up is getting back your stuff."
Today, your belongings not only include your favorite LPs, designer sunglasses and lucky Billy Joel t-shirt; your "stuff" is all over Facebook, too.
New mobile app KillSwitch makes it easy to eliminate your ex's entire presence on your Facebook timeline in one fell swoop.
In reality however, KillSwitch is not meant as a vindictive tool, says Mannherz. "This app is intended as an assertion of independence and healing mechanism for the KillSwitcher. It’s meant to help the user reclaim their little corner of the Internet their Facebook profile not to inflict pain.
KillSwitch promises a ton of exciting future iterations and updates, and the app isn't even live yet. For instance, "one of the upgrades we have coming down the pipeline will attempt to predict this with a 'Breakup Severity Slide,'" says Mannherz. "Users can determine what content is deleted based on how bad the breakup was. Slide it one way if it was amicable, and it’ll keep group pictures with your ex, for instance. If he or she tore your heart out and ran it over with a skateboard, slide the other way and it’ll wipe ‘em all."
Don't have an ex in mind? Use KillSwitch to abort all kinds of Facebook relationships: friends, co-workers, ex-in-laws, etc.
"People might think that Facebook won’t like a service like this," says Mannherz, "but in essence, what KillSwitch does is allows users to feel even more comfortable about sharing because it allows them to control and cut down some of the unnecessary negative consequences of doing so."
Wish KillSwitch was around when you broke up with that douchebag after high school homecoming?

According to underrated boy band together, "The hardest part of breaking up is getting back your stuff."
Today, your belongings not only include your favorite LPs, designer sunglasses and lucky Billy Joel t-shirt; your "stuff" is all over Facebook, too.
New mobile app KillSwitch makes it easy to eliminate your ex's entire presence on your Facebook timeline in one fell swoop.
The caveat is you still have to be friends with your ex to use the app. (So, don't make any brash decisions, post-breakup.) Simply identify the target ex from your list of friends. The app then crawls your profile for content (photos, videos, wall posts and status updates) linked or tagged with that person's specific Facebook ID. In the next step, you have the option to delete all the content or manually select and vanquish certain interactions.The app will cost $0.99 in the App Store and Google Play, and each sale will benefit the American Heart Association of New York.
But letting go takes time. Literally. "The deleting process can take time, depending on connectivity. We did one test with over 4,000 posts and it can take up to 15 minutes. In further iterations, we’re hoping to work with partners to serve up relevant content during this waiting period. Maybe pics of shirtless firemen?" Erica Mannherz, co-founder of ClearHart, KillSwitch's agency, tells Mashable in an exclusive interview.In case you're unwilling to delete your ex's history all together, you may choose to save photos, videos, etc. into a secret KillSwitch folder, which lives on your Facebook account, invisible to all others. "So users can laugh about them after they have moved on (and the ex at hand has ballooned, balded and probably taken a position at the Cheesecake Factory)," KillSwitch shares in its press release.
In reality however, KillSwitch is not meant as a vindictive tool, says Mannherz. "This app is intended as an assertion of independence and healing mechanism for the KillSwitcher. It’s meant to help the user reclaim their little corner of the Internet their Facebook profile not to inflict pain.
"It’s more about saving yourself from the greater implications of having evidence of defunct relationships all over your business," she adds. "Can we ever really invest in a new relationship while evidence of our past ones remain etched into the peripheries of our digital lives?"Still, there's something to physically destroying all evidence of a failed relationship even if it's just the towel that Elton used to ice your head at the Val party. Initially, KillSwitch toyed with a tool that let users "rip up,” “swipe to slice up” or even "burn" each picture with a flick of their fingers. But the team determined that could get old really fast, especially when it's not uncommon for longer relationships to have hundreds, even thousands of photos on Facebook.
