How to Remove Videos and Photos from Facebook Pages and Profiles
Facebook is a powerful platform to share content with your audience. However, sometimes you may need to remove videos or photos that were posted. Whether it's a video on a page or a photo on your personal profile, this guide will walk you through the process of removing both from Facebook.
Removing Videos from a Facebook Page
Deleting a video from a Facebook page requires administrative access. Here are the detailed steps:
Steps to Remove a Video from a Facebook Page
Login to Facebook: Access your Facebook account that has administrative privileges to the page.
Go to Your Page: Navigate to the specific Facebook page where the video is posted.
Find the Video: Scroll through the page’s timeline or use the search function to locate the video you want to remove.
Click on the Video: Open the video by clicking on it.
Options Menu: Click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the video post.
Select 'Remove Video': From the dropdown menu, choose 'Remove Video' to delete the video.
Check for Confirmation: Ensure that the video has been removed from the page.
Only page administrators or editors can delete videos from a page. If the video was shared from another source or is part of a collaboration, you may not be able to delete it.
Removing Photos and Videos from Facebook Profiles
Deleting photos and videos from your personal profile is a bit different depending on whether you are using a desktop browser, mobile website, or the mobile app on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device.
