I must have deleted over 10k things, so there's no chance of remembering whether they were on the list of things I deleted or simply didn't appear.

I mostly used the Activity Log (button at the top of your profile page) to do the deletion. There are filters there so you can see the different types of interactions. Removing them is different, e.g. Delete vs Unlike.

During the process, I did notice things appearing which had previously not appeared, so that definitely does happen. I kept going back to see if there was new stuff to delete. The whole process took me about 3 months.

The plot twist is that this all happened over 6 months ago. My profile has been empty the whole time, until sometime within the past couple of weeks, where posts have started to re-appear.
