You can delete it from the timeline, or you can put it in the recycle bin. Recycled posts are automatically deleted after 30 days. To keep them from being deleted forever, you must delete them right away! In this article, I&#8217;ll show you how to delete a post in Facebook. Once you&#8217;ve completed these steps, you can easily remove a post from Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_a_shared_post_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Delete a shared post on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you share something on Facebook, you may wonder how to Delete a shared post on Facebook. While sharing doesn&#8217;t delete the original content, it will leave a message below. Even if the post is deleted, other users can still view it, and click on any links within the shared post. Luckily, deleting content is easy. Just follow these steps to make the process go faster. If you have trouble, contact Facebook support to learn more.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to go to your profile and click &#8220;Shared Posts.&#8221; Once you&#8217;re there, click the three dots icon. Select the post you want to delete and click &#8220;Delete post.&#8221; If you don&#8217;t want to delete it right away, you can download the data that was shared by the other user. To do this, click &#8220;Download data from Facebook.&#8221; Choose a date range, then select the media format and quality, and then hit &#8220;Create file.&#8221; Once you&#8217;re done, click on the button to save the download.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve deleted a post from Facebook, you&#8217;ll receive a notification that the post is no longer available to your friends. It might take up to 90 days for the post to disappear, so check back with the friends you shared it with to make sure the post has been removed. In the meantime, you can also refresh your page to remove notifications. There&#8217;s no reason to worry, though. With the right method, removing shared posts from Facebook will leave your profile looking clean.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_a_shared_post\"><\/span>Delete a shared post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Delete a shared post in Facebook: Whether you want to share a post or just hide it from view, you can do it. This article will show you how to do this. The first thing to note is that while you cannot delete someone else&#8217;s posts, you can remove your own. If you delete a shared post, the message below it will still show up on your wall. If you&#8217;re concerned about this, there are two solutions to your problem.<\/p>\n<p>To delete a post, you must log in as &#8220;Admin&#8221; in order to do so. You can also delete a tag from a post in order to hide it from view. Neither of these options will permanently delete a post. The other option is to archive it. Although this means that your post will no longer be public, it will remain visible to the other users who have the right permissions to view it.<\/p>\n<p>To delete a shared post, hover over the pencil icon at the top right-hand corner of the post, then select Delete. This will remove the post from the news feed and will no longer appear on other people&#8217;s news feeds. However, heavy traffic may prevent this from happening. In such a case, you&#8217;ll need to use a third-party app to remove it. You can also untag yourself from a shared post by hovering your cursor over its pencil icon.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_a_shared_post_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Hide a shared post on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to hide a shared post on Facebook is easy once you know where to find it. You can go to your cover photo and click the Activity Log. From there, select the post you want to hide from your Timeline. Tap the arrow next to it or click the crossed-out circle. In either case, you will see a message stating that it has been hidden. Click Allowed on Timeline to enable the post to be hidden.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can unfollow the person and hide the post from their list. Both of these actions do not notify the person that you&#8217;ve unfollowed them, but you can always find out who&#8217;s following them. Blocking someone is another way to keep from bumping into each other&#8217;s posts or seeing their posts from mutual friends. If you don&#8217;t want to unfollow a friend, it&#8217;s better to block them.<\/p>\n<p>Hide a shared post on Facebook is an easy way to prevent others from seeing your posts. If you&#8217;re embarrassed about a shared post or think it&#8217;s inappropriate, you can simply hide it. This option is available in most profiles and can be found in the drop-down menu in the upper right corner. Once you&#8217;ve selected the posts to hide, click the &#8216;Hide Post&#8217; button to keep them from showing up on your timeline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete a Post in Facebook If you want to remove a post from your Facebook timeline, you have a few options.
