Recently a friend of mine on Facebook asked the question: 'How can I delete photos off Facebook?' This article will look at the different cases and what you can do about photos of you.
Your own photos
If you have uploaded the photos yourself, it is a very easy procedure: simply go to the specific photo. When you scroll down you will find a link on the left side saying: 'Delete This Photo'. Once you've clicked on it, it will ask you a double check question just to make sure you didn't accidently click on the link. Once you confirm the question the photo will be deleted.
You can also delete multiple photos by going to an album and clicking on 'Edit Album Info'. Go to 'Edit Photos' and you will find a little box to click beneath the photo saying 'Delete this photo'.
Photos other people have posted
You cannot delete photos that other people have posted however you can un-tag yourself by clicking on 'Remove Tag' at the bottom next to your name. This means that the photo will no longer appear under your profile and your friend (or anyone else) will also no longer be able to tag you in this specific photo. This does not however mean that it disappears from their photos. Anyone connected to them will still be able to see it among their photos.
Abusive photos
If you find a photo posted about you is abusive in its content you can anonymously report it by clicking 'Report This Photo', a link that you will find in the bottom right corner below the photo. Remember that this does not work if you just don't like the way you look in a photo.
Delete a profile photo
Given that you have uploaded your profile photo you can easily delete it by clicking on your current picture, selecting the 'Remove as Profile Picture' link below the photo. You can then also delete the photo, which means no one will be able to see it anymore.
Change your privacy settings
An easy way to control whom can see which pictures of you, whether you've uploaded them or someone else is to set your privacy setting accordingly. To do this go to 'Account', which you find on the top right of your Facebook screen next to Home and Profile, click on 'Privacy Settings' and you'll find a window pop up containing your setting called 'Sharing on Facebook'. You will find some preset setting which you can personalize simply by clicking on the 'Customize settings' link.
