\nNone of us are perfect, and all of us have published Facebook posts with misspellings, grammatical errors, mistaken \u201cfacts,\u201d or opinions that we immediately realized might not need to be aired in public. When that happens, you\u2019re going to want to hop into your post and fix the problem \u2014 either by changing it or deleting it altogether. Luckily, it\u2019s really easy \u2014 if you know how.<\/p>\n
What follows are directions on how to edit a Facebook post, delete it, and restore it on the web and using the mobile app. (I used the Facebook app on a Pixel 6, but the steps will be similar on other phones and on iOS.) <\/p>\n

On the web<\/h2>\n\nIn the post you want to edit, click on the three dots in the upper right of your post.<\/li>\n
Click on Edit post<\/strong> if you want to change it; make your edits, and then click on Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\nClick on Move to trash<\/strong> if you want to delete it, and then click on Move<\/strong>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n  <\/p>\n    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/source><\/picture>\n
    <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/span><\/p>\n
    It\u2019s easy to either edit a Facebook post or move it to Trash.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nNote: when you \u201cdelete\u201d a post, you will actually be moving it to a trash section, where it will be finally deleted after 30 days. If you want to restore it or delete it immediately, follow the following steps.<\/p>\n\nClick on your personal icon in the upper right corner<\/li>\n
Click on Settings & privacy > Activity log<\/strong>\n<\/li>\n
In the left-hand column, scroll down to and select Trash<\/strong>\n<\/li>\n
Find the post and click its checkbox. Click on Restore<\/strong> to restore it to your timeline, or Delete<\/strong> to permanently delete it.<\/li>\nIn the resulting pop-up, click on Restore<\/strong> or Delete<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n  <\/p>\n    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/source><\/picture>\n
    <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/span><\/p>\n
    
You\u2019ll find your trashed posts in your Activity log.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nOn a mobile device<\/h2>\n\nTap on the three dots in the upper-right corner of the post<\/li>\n
Select Edit post<\/strong> if you want to change it; make your edits, and then click on Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
Select Move to trash<\/strong> if you want to delete it, and then click on Move<\/strong>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n  <\/p>\n    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/source><\/picture>\n
    <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/span><\/p>\n
    
The same menu lets you edit a post or move it to trash.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/p>\n    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/source><\/picture>\n
    <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/span><\/p>\n
    
\nJust edit your post and then tap <\/em>Save<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em>
\n<\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe process of restoring or permanently deleting a post is similar to that on the web.<\/p>\n
\nIn your timeline, tap on your personal icon in the upper left corner.<\/li>\n
Tap on the three dots to the right of Edit profile<\/strong>. <\/li>\n
In your Profile settings, select Activity log > Trash<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
Select the checkbox of the post you want to restore or delete. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n  <\/p>\n    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/source><\/picture>\n
    <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/span><\/p>\n
    
You\u2019ll find the Trash section in your Activity Log.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/p>\n    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/source><\/picture>\n
    <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/span><\/p>\n
    
To restore or delete it, check off the post and choose which you\u2019d like to do.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nTo restore the post, tap on Restore<\/strong> at the bottom of the screen. To permanently delete it, tap the three dots at the bottom right, and select Delete<\/strong>. <\/li>\n
Tap Restore<\/strong> or Delete<\/strong> in the pop-up menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
