I am working on getting all of the information off of Facebook before I delete it forever. I used Tagged Photo Exporter to get all of tagged photos off of Facebook but I can't get videos I am tagged in to download.

After doing lots of googling I found lots of different websites that were suppose do this for me but none of them work. They either don't work or download the same incorrect video. I have tried using the mbasic techniques to get a "Save as" template that is not working. Anyone have any luck getting this done recently? I assume Facebook is trying to make this more difficult since people are flocking off of the site. These are videos I uploaded but rather those I am tagged in.

So is there a way to bulk untag from photos and such? Is that what I understand you are doing (and downloading them)?

I haven't untagged myself but the Tagged Photo Exporter did export all my tagged photos in bulk. I had to do videos one by one

The big question I have is "is there a way to bulk request removal of all photos I'm tagged in". I can't currently think of a better way than messaging everyone who uploaded them, hoping they might still use Facebook and see my message, and then hoping they're happy to delete the photos!

Ya, I am not necessarily interested in the photos themselves, but would like to not be tagged.
