All of your Facebook info is stored online at Facebook and not on your computer.
However, if you do not clean up your cache (temporary internet files) on a fairly regular basis, you may have a large amount of disk space used by those files, which include your Facebook activity.
You can clean up your cache from each internet browser you use by following the instructions for that specific browser (i.e. Edge, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.). Easiest way to find out how is, for example, to Google "How to clear cache in Firefox". (Substitute Firefox with the browser you are using).
Your operating system can also help. If you are using Windows, use the file explorer to find your C: drive. Right click on your C: drive and choose Properties, you will see a graphic image on the properties dialog showing how much of your drive is used and how much is available. Below that is a button that says Disk Cleanup. Click that button and it will analyze your disk for files that can be removed. Wait for that scan to complete and it will show you several categories of files that can be cleaned up. It will show how much space is being used by temporary internet files (browser cache), make sure the box in front of that choice is checked and click OK to clear those files.
Note: using the disk cleanup option above also gives you the ability to remove other file categories. Clicking the box in front of Temporary Files is also usually safe to do. Be careful with other choices, if they do not already have a check in the box, use caution.
When the analyzing is done, you will be presented with a window similar to the following - it lists what all is removable without causing problems to the operating system or installed applications.
