Is there not a way to delete all posts and comments at once?

I don't believe so, at least not in the recent past. I purged my FB of all content about 18 months ago, and had to do it manually. Took several hours spread across a few weeks, whenever I could force myself to spend the time on it. For whatever reason I kept finding posts/comments for a few weeks after that; I'd go back to make sure I got everything, scouring the timelines, and there'd be something I missed somehow, quite bizarre.

I've never had a Facebook account, but friends have told me that no, there is not. That would go against their user and content retention models, I'm sure. It makes sense that Facebook would make it as difficult, tedious, and painful as possible to delete content from their platform.
