How Can You Delete a LinkedIn Business Page Post That’s More Than 1 Year Old?
If you’re a Super Admin on a LinkedIn business page and you’re trying to delete an older post, you’re not imagining things: LinkedIn can make this harder than it should be. A lot of page admins run into the same issue. You go to the page feed, start scrolling, and then it just stops loading after around 11 or 12 months. No full archive. No obvious “all posts” library. No clean filter for old content. It’s frustrating.
The short answer is: yes, older LinkedIn Page posts can often still be deleted, but finding them may require a workaround rather than relying on the normal page feed scroll. If you’re stuck, this post will walk you through what usually works, what to check, and what to do if LinkedIn’s interface simply won’t show the old post.
Why this happens on LinkedIn Pages
LinkedIn’s page management tools are useful, but they’re not always built for easy long-term content housekeeping. On many business pages, the default post view is more like a continuously loading feed than a true searchable archive. That means:
- Older posts may not load after a certain point
- There may be no visible “View all historical posts” option
- Sorting and filtering can be limited depending on the page type and interface version
- Desktop and mobile experiences may show slightly different options
So if you’re asking, “Am I missing something?” probably not. In many cases, the limitation is real.
First, make sure you have the right permissions
Before troubleshooting the post itself, it helps to confirm one thing: are you acting as the Page, and do you have full admin permissions?
Since you mentioned being a Super Admin, you should generally have the ability to delete page posts. Still, it’s worth checking:
- You are logged into the correct LinkedIn account
- You are viewing the correct business page
- You are in admin mode
- The post was published by the Page, not by an employee or via a different associated account
If the post was created as a sponsored item, part of a campaign, or published through a third-party workflow, the removal path may look a little different.
The most practical ways to find and delete an older LinkedIn Page post
Here are the methods that are most likely to help.
1) Try finding the old post by using the direct post URL
This is often the easiest workaround. If you can locate the original URL of the post, you may be able to open it directly and delete it from there.
Ask yourself:
- Was the post ever shared in Slack, email, Notion, Teams, or a content calendar?
- Was it included in a campaign report?
- Can someone on your team find it in browser history or analytics notes?
Once you have the direct link, open the post while logged in as a Page admin. On many page posts, the three-dot menu on the post itself will still show a delete option.
2) Use Google to surface the old post
If LinkedIn won’t show you the archive, sometimes Google will. Try a search like this:
site:linkedin.com/company/your-page-name specific keyword from the post
Or search your brand name plus a phrase you remember from the caption. If the post was indexed, Google may return the individual post or a cached reference that helps you identify it.
This doesn’t always work, but it’s worth trying, especially for public page content.
3) Check Page analytics, campaign records, or scheduling tools
If the post performed well, there’s a chance it appears in:
- LinkedIn content analytics
- UTM tracking reports
- Third-party scheduling platforms like Hootsuite, Buffer, or Sprout Social
- Internal spreadsheets or monthly social media reports
Even if those tools can’t delete the content directly, they may give you the original publish date, post text, or direct URL.
4) Try a different browser, device, or LinkedIn interface
This sounds simple, but it sometimes helps. LinkedIn’s UI bugs are not always consistent. A few things to test:
- Desktop browser instead of mobile app
- Incognito/private browsing window
- Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari
- Clear cache and cookies, then log in again
If endless scroll is failing because of a loading issue rather than a hard archive limit, switching environments can occasionally reveal more posts.
5) Look under all available admin content sections
Depending on your page setup, LinkedIn may separate content into different views such as:
- Recent posts
- Updates
- Ads or sponsored content
- Page activity tabs
- Content or post management sections in the admin dashboard
Not every page has the same labels, so it’s worth clicking through each admin menu instead of relying only on the public page feed.
What if the feed stops at 11 months and won’t load anything older?
If that’s exactly what you’re seeing, there are really two likely possibilities:
- It’s a platform limitation in that particular feed view
- It’s a loading bug with infinite scroll
And honestly, both are common enough on large platforms.
If the post is not visible in the normal page feed, your best next move is usually to find the direct URL rather than continue scrolling. That tends to save a lot of time.
Can LinkedIn Support help?
Yes, if the post exists but the admin interface won’t let you access it, LinkedIn Support is worth contacting. This is especially true if:
- You can prove you are a Super Admin
- You know roughly when the post was published
- You have part of the text, an image from the post, or a direct link
- The post creates a legal, reputational, or compliance concern
When contacting support, be specific. Include:
- Your page URL
- The name of the page
- Your admin role
- The approximate date of the post
- The issue: “The Page Posts view does not load past 11 months, so I cannot access and delete an older Page post.”
That kind of wording usually gets the point across faster than a general “I can’t find my content” message.
A few useful questions to ask before deleting the post
Sometimes the goal is straightforward. Other times it helps to pause for a second and ask:
- Do you need to delete the post entirely, or would editing related messaging elsewhere solve the problem?
- Was the content tied to an old campaign that should also be cleaned up in ads or landing pages?
- Do screenshots of the post exist in newsletters, blog posts, or sales materials?
- Should your team document the reason for deletion for future reference?
This matters because deleting the LinkedIn post may not fully remove its footprint if it was widely shared externally.
Best practice for future cleanup
If your team manages a business page regularly, this issue is a good reminder to build a simple content log. Nothing fancy. Even a spreadsheet can help. Track:
- Post date
- Post topic
- Direct URL
- Campaign name
- Owner or approver
That way, if you ever need to remove an old post for rebranding, compliance, leadership changes, or outdated offers, you won’t be stuck scrolling forever.
So, is there a way to see all previous LinkedIn business page posts and delete them?
Sometimes yes, but not always from a clean “all posts” archive inside LinkedIn. If your admin feed stops loading after 11 months, the best realistic options are:
- Find the direct post URL
- Use Google search to surface the post
- Check analytics, reports, or third-party scheduling tools
- Try a different browser or interface
- Contact LinkedIn Support if the post is inaccessible through admin tools
So if you’ve been searching all over LinkedIn and Google and coming up empty, that doesn’t mean you missed something obvious. The system really can be awkward for older Page content.
