Delete Facebook photo on profile page - change or remove

Gigabytes of multimedia content such as photos and videos are posted daily on social networks. Alas, quite often users, when uploading such content, forget one golden rule: what appeared on the Internet remains in it forever. Therefore, quite often questions arise about how to delete photos on Facebook.

Content:

  • Quick and permanent
  • Change profile picture
    • Profile photo (ava)
    • Cover photo
  • Delete photos in private messages
  • Delete photos in feed and publications
  • Delete albums

Quick and permanent

and immediately from everywhere. However, the photos posted in the personal profile are collected in a special section, from where, if desired, the images can be easily deleted.

How to do it:

  1. Open your profile by clicking on the avatar at the top of the page.

  1. In the "Photos" section, you will see three segments: photos you have published, albums, and photos in which you have been tagged by other users.
  2. Click on the pencil icon at the top of the photo and select Delete.
  3. In the mobile application, the "Delete" option can be exited by clicking on the three dots.

Change avatar

Profile photo (ava)

Some users complain about this problem: on Facebook, you can change or edit your profile picture, but supposedly you can't delete it. In fact, there is no problem here, and you can delete the photo used as an avatar. To do this, do the following:

  1. By clicking on the profile picture at the top of the page, enter the profile.
  2. In the "Photos" section, enter the "Albums" segment.
  3. From there - to the album "Profile photo".

  1. Find the image you want to delete, click the ellipsis and take action.

To change the main photo, you need to click on the camera image above the profile picture.

You will see a menu with which you can add a new picture, edit an existing one or add a frame. Video avatars are available for mobile applications.

Cover photo

The image used as the cover is removed in the same way as the image used for the avatar. In the albums, find "Covers" and perform the same steps there.

Deleting photos in personal correspondence

Erroneously or recklessly sent photos can be completely deleted (so that they are erased both for you and the recipient) only within 10 minutes after sending the message. After that, nothing can be changed, no matter how much you want it to be. Therefore, if you find an abnormal situation, do not waste a second.

To delete a photo in the messenger app for mobile devices, do the following:

  1. Long press on the sent picture.
  2. When the "basket" appears at the bottom of the screen, press it, and then - "Cancel sending".
  3. Confirm your action.

To delete a photo in the messenger in the desktop version of Facebook, do the following:

  1. Move the cursor over the sent picture.
  2. Select the delete command, and then "Everyone".

Messages sent more than 10 minutes ago can only be deleted from your history. The recipient will retain both messages and other content attached to them, including images. If the recipient has already seen the photo sent to him within ten minutes, there is only one thing left: to contact the person with a personal request to delete this message. And the rest depends on your relationship with this user and on his personal qualities.

Delete photos in the feed and publications

Delete a post with photos that you yourself posted somewhere on Facebook is quite real. If we are talking about fresh and relatively fresh publications, then they can be found in the social network feed. If a lot of time has passed since the publication of the publication, then you can find it in the chronicle.

Deletion in progress as follows:

  1. Log into your profile.
  2. Open the Chronicle there.
  3. Find the desired publication there, click on the three dots and delete it.
  4. You can also, if you wish, not delete the entire post, but delete only the image. To do this, click on the three dots located in the upper right corner and enter the "Edit" option. By clicking on the cross on the photos, remove them from the post.

  • If you work in the mobile version of the social network, then there is no Chronicle section. The posts are in chronological order.
  • If it's a post posted on another user's timeline, the post can be found using the activity log. Press ∇, then "Settings and Privacy" and you will find this log.
  • If a material with photos you don't want is posted by another user, then the only way to remove the entire post or photos is to ask the user who posted the content. The only thing you can do is remove the tag if the person has tagged you in the photo.

By the way, the marks are easy to remove. To do this, click on the three dots located in the upper right corner, and then click on the "Unmark" command.

Deleting albums

Photo albums are a very popular way to post and store photographic content on Facebook. Albums are easy to organize and, if necessary, find the right photo.

The user can delete both individual photos and the entire album from his album. For this you need:

  1. In your profile, go to the "Photos" section, and from there - to "Albums".
  2. Find the desired album, where and delete the photo: press the ellipsis, and then the delete command.
