Feeling embarrassed by that Facebook photo from your younger days? No worries, you can always delete any of your uploaded photos from Facebook. We’ll show you how.

On Facebook, you can delete both your individual photos and your photo albums. Once you’ve deleted them, you can’t restore them. So, only delete the items that you really don’t wish to keep anymore. If you want to keep a local copy of your photos, make sure you download your photos from Facebook first.

The process of deleting photos is pretty much the same on both desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebook) and mobile (iPhone, iPad, and Android). We’ll use the Facebook website on a desktop for the demonstration.
