First, you&#8217;ll need to select the &#8220;Remove picture?&#8221; option in the Account Settings menu. Click the option to remove the picture, and a confirmation dialog will open. Choose whether to remove or cancel it. Once you&#8217;ve completed the process, Facebook will display the updated account profile page, and a default picture placeholder will be displayed in place of the picture. The picture placeholder will be a silhouette, depending on your gender.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_profile_picture_without_deleting_profile_picture\"><\/span>Change profile picture without deleting profile picture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a couple of ways to change your profile picture without deleting it in Facebook. You can delete your current photo or make a new one. Using the navigation menu, you can click Delete Photo, Make Cover Photo, or Save Photo. You can also change the privacy settings on your profile picture, but that won&#8217;t permanently delete it from your Facebook account. To delete a photo, follow the steps below.<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to log in to Facebook. Next, you will see a box asking if you want to change your profile picture. Click &#8220;Change profile picture&#8221; and then choose a new image. The profile picture is inset into the center and bottom left of your cover photo. Your cover photo is the large image that sits behind your profile picture. To change your profile picture without deleting it, click the Edit Profile Picture button.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you need to choose who can see your profile photo. Facebook has options that allow you to select who can view your profile picture. This isn&#8217;t possible for the mobile app, though. If you do choose to change your profile photo, only people who know your email address will see it. However, you won&#8217;t be able to do this if you want to keep it private. Make sure that you change it once a year or so.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remove_profile_picture_if_you_dont_have_recent_photos_of_yourself\"><\/span>Remove profile picture if you don&#8217;t have recent photos of yourself<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Delete profile pictures from Facebook by editing your privacy settings. You can also make your profile photo private by changing its setting to &#8216;Only me&#8217;. There are a few consequences to deleting your profile picture, but it&#8217;s still the easiest method to delete your profile photo. The following steps will walk you through the process. First, log in to your Facebook account. Once you&#8217;ve logged in, go to the bottom navigation bar. Click the menu icon to bring up the menu. Select Delete Photo, Make Cover Photo, Save Photo, or More.<\/p>\n<p>Change your profile picture regularly. If you haven&#8217;t updated your profile picture in several years, change it. Ideally, you&#8217;d replace it with a recent photo. If you have no recent photographs of yourself, you can crop your current profile photo. You can then set your new cover photo as your profile picture. This is a great option for privacy. If you don&#8217;t have recent photos of yourself, change your profile picture regularly.<\/p>\n<p>Delete profile photos. Facebook has an option for removing individual photos and entire photo albums. To remove a photo, you need to log in to your Facebook account. Go to your profile and select &#8220;See All Photos.&#8221; Once you&#8217;ve found the photo you want to remove, click the More Options hyperlink under it. On the left side of the page, you&#8217;ll see two options for deleting the photo. You can rotate the photo and select the Delete option, but the Delete button is still the same.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_profile_picture_on_desktop_computer\"><\/span>Delete profile picture on desktop computer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To delete your profile picture on Facebook, you must first log in to your account. Once logged in, navigate to your profile. Click on the &#8220;See All Photos&#8221; option and locate the image you want to remove. Hover your mouse over the image to bring up the &#8220;More Options&#8221; box. From there, you can choose to rotate, delete, or remove the picture entirely. Once you&#8217;re done, simply click on the &#8220;X&#8221; to close the box.<\/p>\n<p>After logging in, click on your profile name, then select &#8220;Photos.&#8221; Now, find the photo you wish to delete. Select &#8220;Edit or Remove&#8221; or &#8220;Delete this photo.&#8221; After clicking on the &#8220;X&#8221;, a confirmation dialog box will appear. The image will be removed from Facebook. Then, you can select another image from your albums. Once you&#8217;ve removed your profile picture, you can move on to the next step.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not sure how to delete a profile picture on Facebook, you can do it from the app. Simply open the app and select the option that is appropriate for your device. Depending on your setup, you can either choose to delete your profile picture completely, or revert to the default profile picture. If you want to delete your profile picture, you can also go to the &#8220;Edit Profile&#8221; option. You can then enter the desired text in the box.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CbqGueKTFg4\" height=\"278\" width=\"497\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete Profile Picture in Facebook In case you&#8217;re having trouble choosing the right profile picture for your Facebook account, you can follow these steps to remove it.
