This article will help you understand how to delete a post on Facebook, including Archived posts and deleted comments. Facebook allows you to edit and delete posts in three different ways. Read on for more information. To delete a post, you must first be an administrator of the Page. Once you are the Administrator of the Page, you can follow the steps below to delete a post from your Timeline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_delete_a_post_from_your_Timeline\"><\/span>How to delete a post from your Timeline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to delete a post from your Timeline, select the posts you want to remove and click the Delete button. You can choose to hide or delete a post as well. The post will still be available in other places on Facebook. In addition to deleting, you can also remove the tag that was attached to it. To delete a post, follow the steps below. You can also delete the post in bulk, if needed.<\/p>\n<p>To delete a post from your Timeline on the website, go to the profile of the person you want to remove it from. You will find a button to manage your posts. Select the post you wish to remove and hit the &#8220;delete&#8221; button. Click &#8220;Delete&#8221; to confirm the process. Once the post is deleted, it will move to the trash bin. You can choose to remove it permanently, or you can keep it hidden if you wish. Remember, however, that it cannot be restored once you&#8217;ve done so.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Archived_posts\"><\/span>Archived posts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;re finished reading through a post, but want to remove it from your Facebook timeline, you can archive it. Facebook&#8217;s new Archive feature lets you select specific posts to remove from your profile or entire newsfeed. Once archived, the post is permanently hidden from your newsfeed and can only be accessed from the Archive page. If you decide to remove it, you can always re-archive it in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Archived posts are similar to the &#8220;keep for yourself&#8221; feature in Instagram. This feature has been available on Instagram for several years, but Facebook only recently introduced it. Archived posts are private to the user, and can be restored later at your convenience. It&#8217;s best to archive older posts, especially ones that are highly personal or sensitive. Archived posts remain on Facebook for 30 days after they&#8217;ve been archived.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deleted_posts\"><\/span>Deleted posts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve made a mistake and want to delete a post, you can easily do it through your Facebook profile. However, you can only delete your own posts &#8211; not those posted by others. You can, however, hide posts to prevent them from being seen by others. You can do this in bulk, which will save you time and hassle. Just remember to follow the instructions carefully so you don&#8217;t lose any important information.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in the process is to log in as an administrator. If you do not have administrator privileges, you will have to log in as a regular user. However, if you&#8217;re logged in as an &#8216;admin&#8217;, you can choose to hide a post and explain to your customers that you made a mistake. If you have posted a picture of your baby, you&#8217;ll have to delete it yourself.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deleted_comments\"><\/span>Deleted comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve accidentally deleted a comment on Facebook, you may be wondering how to undo it. You can undo the comment, but this option is limited and will only work for a short period of time. Deleted comments are not permanent, and it might take a few days to see them again. If you&#8217;re not sure whether you should undo it or not, try these steps to find out!<\/p>\n<p>To delete a comment, hover your mouse over it, then tap the three dots on the right corner. This will reveal an action menu. Choose &#8220;Delete Comment&#8221; and confirm. The comment will be removed from the post. Once you&#8217;ve confirmed the action, open the Facebook app and log in to your account. Tap the three dots in the right corner. Then, select &#8220;Settings&#8221; or &#8220;Activity Log.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deleted_shared_posts\"><\/span>Deleted shared posts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to delete shared posts on Facebook, you&#8217;re not alone. You may have also noticed that the share icon on a post doesn&#8217;t remove the content from Facebook. Instead, it displays a message below it. In other words, it&#8217;s possible to delete a share on Facebook but still have people click on the external link. Fortunately, there are ways to remove these shared posts from Facebook and prevent others from viewing them.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike deleting individual posts, you can delete a whole list of shared items from your profile. Click on the down arrow in the top right corner of the post to open the &#8220;edit profile&#8221; screen. In the &#8220;Edit Profile&#8221; screen, tap the share icon to reveal the &#8220;Don&#8217;t share&#8221; editor. You can also delete a single post by clicking the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button next to it. However, you should consider deleting shared posts before sharing them with others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete a Post on Facebook If you&#8217;re wondering how to delete a post on Facebook, then you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
