Hi! I am creating a social network, and I would like, to when the user deletes his own account, to delete all his posts too. How can I do that?

You need a workflow that will delete a posts with for example ID of current user

Thanks for your reply! How do I do that? I have a data type called “Posts”,and when a user clicks a button it creates a new post.

Create in posts field user\_id and in create post workflow add field user\_id=current users unique ID.  
That means that every post will have user ID and you search or delete every post that contains it.
