It is very important that you are sure as this cannot be undone easily. If you’ve many posts over many years it’s essentially impossible.
Also note that it is still possible for people to view some of your older posts, if they have been tagged in a Photo or Check In for example.
If you are sure, then click the “Limit Old Posts” button.
Once again you’re prompted to confirm the action.
