Deleting pictures and data in social networks

Dec 25, 2011, 3:06 GMT

Berlin - A comment or photo is quickly and easily posted onto a social online network. But how can you get rid of them again? Users of Facebook and some other social networks can delete the comments and pictures that they post on their walls.

'As long as you have an account, users can delete by themselves wall entries on the profile pages of others,' says German social network spokesman Martin Boit.

Just call up the comment you want to delete, roll the mouse over it until an X appears in the corner and click on it - that's all.

Those who would like to remove their tracks must only remember where they left them. Clicking on those entries and pictures is just as easy as posting a message. But you must remember that once you delete something, it cannot be restored if you change your mind.

Facebook and other platforms also offer the opportunity to completely delete their profile.
