You can easily organize your photos into albums on your Facebook profile – and delete them when you no longer need or want them.
On your desktop, you can delete your albums either on the main albums page or by clicking and opening the individual album’s details. On the Facebook mobile app, the process looks slightly different.
It’s worth noting, however, that you can also choose to make any album visible to “Only me,” which will hide the album from your friends. This is found under the “Edit” option near the “Delete” button.
Here’s how to do both.
