unsaving linkedin posts: a technical approach

LinkedIn is, for the most part, a relentless vortex of self-congratulation and corporate platitudes. Occasionally, however, you’ll stumble across a genuine insight or an article that actually looks worth your time. You save it with the best intentions, promising yourself you’ll return to absorb its wisdom during a quiet moment that never quite arrives.

Before you know it, you’ve unintentionally curated a massive archive of digital hoarding dozens, possibly even hundreds of posts you’ll never actually digest.

If you’ve found yourself with a daunting amount saved posts and articles on LinkedIn, you’ll also discover that you have to delete each one individually – there’s no multiselect or ‘unsave all’ button. This script will do the tedious part for you – it’s not instant, but it’s a quick and simple way to clear the backlog.

What the LinkedIn Bulk Unsave Script does

In a nutshell, this script does the clicking for you. It first finds all the ‘meatballs menus‘ (three horizontal dots) on the page, then it opens them one by one and selects ‘unsave’. All you need to do is set it running and keep an eye on it as it works.

A few disclaimers:

  • This is working as of December 2025, if LinkedIn makes any changes on their side, it could stop the script from working.
  • This process will unsave all loaded posts, eventually giving you a clean slate. If you want to keep any posts – open them in a new tab beforehand a re-save them after the script has run.
  • You should always be cautious of running unfamiliar scripts in your browser, if you have any uncertainty about how this works, please don’t continue.
  • Since LinkedIn uses infinite scroll, you might need to run the script, refresh, scroll down the page a bit, and run it again if you have loads of saved posts.
  • The script includes a short delay between actions – this is to prevent LinkedIn from detecting this as bot activity.

How to use this script

  • Load the posts: Go to your LinkedIn Saved Posts page and scroll down several times (all the way down until no more load, if you can – otherwise you can do it in chunks) so the items are loaded into the browser memory.
  • Open Console: Press F12 (or Cmd + Option + J on Mac) or right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect, then click the Console tab.
  • Paste* the code into the prompt (>) and press Enter.
  • Monitor the progress: You should keep the window open and watch it run, the script includes a progress tracker and a few console messages if it runs into an issue.

* If your browser doesn’t let you paste the code, you might need to type allow pasting first and hit Enter to enable it.
