I have a lot apps and websites I'm connected to with my Facebook account.
In the past, it was the common thing that an app would post on your wall everything (it's set to private, but still exist).
I want to delete all this irrelevant content produced by those apps, but not remove them from Facebook, cause it will delete all the data and probably my user on this sites (which is not what I want).
Is this possible?
Of course, without going one by one and removing every post.
The "recent activity" section is exactly that: your recent activity. It is generated directly by Facebook from actions you have made on the site, not via an app.
You might be able to retrieve it by using the API tools. You first need to get your facebook username.
You can set your user name or view it if you have already set it by going to http://www.facebook.com/username/
Note: That this is not the user name you use to log in to Facebook.
You can now use the Graph API you can then retrieve your User Id.
Browse to https://graph.facebook.com/%YOURUSERNAME% so for instance mine would be https://graph.facebook.com/boconnor
This will display your user information along with your user id.
Copy the the User Id - without the quotes.
I haven't quite worked out a better way of getting all the posts but you can easily copy the details out in to Notepad etc. You can then search through these results for a search term that you used in your comment.
If I can find a better way to get your post on it's own I will post another answer.
Hope this helps

Questions like these, deleting activity without deleting all posts one by one, are being asked regularly, and Facebook does not offer an automated solution for it. (I suppose they have their reasons not to.)
There are third-party scripts that will allow you to, such as the Social Book Post Manager Chrome extension. I have tested it with moderate results. What it does is deleting your activity as you would do manually, but via a script so you have your hands free. The main problem appears to be that it may go too fast, resulting in some deletion requests not being processed. That's why the extension has a 'Speed' setting. The extension is not excellent and there appear to be mixed reviews, but it should help you further.
