Considering that what you are about to perform is an irreversible operation and that, consequently, once deleted, the messages that were previously stored on Facebook can no longer be recovered in any way (except by recalling them from the other people's account who participated in it ... but that's another thing!), I suggest you first make a backup of the contents of your account.

Once this is done, wait for the system to prepare the ZIP package containing your photos, your posts, the conversations you have made in chat and all the other information you host on your profile (it could take quite a few minutes, if not hours). When the archive is ready, an email will be sent to you containing the link to download it to your computer.
Once you have received the email, all you have to do is click on the button Download archive of Facebook, type the password of your account on the social network and proceed to download the archive by clicking on Send.
Later, you will be able to access the archive related to your Facebook account by opening and extracting the contents of the same in a new folder, opening the latter and double clicking on the page Index. Once this is done, a new page will open in the web browser through which you will then be able to see all the files and data backed up by your account on the social network, even if you are offline.
