What is the way to delete a video that was shared within Facebook?
Next, we will explain how you can completely delete a video that you shared within Facebook, be it on your wall, in a story or in groups.
Whether the video was shared on Facebook stories
As is known, the first thing you should do is log in to your Facebook account and stay at the beginning of the platform. Then, go to the top to access ‘Your story’ and when all your uploads are open, look for the video you want to delete.
With the story in view, click or press on the three dots that appear horizontally in the upper right corner. Among the options that scroll, choose ‘Delete video’ and that’s it , confirm the action and the story will disappear both in your Facebook home and in Messenger.
If it is on the profile wall
Just as you can delete a photo that you uploaded to your profile, it is also possible, quickly and easily, to delete a video from your wall where everyone can see it. To do this, enter from the official Facebook page, whether it is from your mobile or from your computer’s browser.
Then, go to the ‘Your photos’ option and there click or tap on the ‘Albums’ tab and within albums you will see the ‘Your videos’ option . Now, search among all the video that you want to delete from the profile and in the pencil icon or the ‘Edit’ option, press ‘Delete video’ and confirm the procedure.
A video shared on a page or group
If you want to delete a video that you shared in a group you belong to on Facebook, go to your profile and in the three horizontal dots select ‘Activity log’ . There, look for the ‘Filter’ option and at the bottom you will find the ‘Groups’ option, click and press ‘Save changes’.
That way, you will have access in the menu that appears on the left to the videos or any post that you want to remove from a group. Click on the three horizontal dots icon and then on the ‘Delete’ option and voila, you will have deleted it.
Why is the video I deleted from my Facebook profile still playing?
This is a problem that the platform itself and Facebook developers themselves reported as a bug. This happens because, even if you have deleted the video and you do not see it on your profile, they could be saved in the distribution that Facebook makes of the videos on its network.
Now, as we mentioned before, the Facebook platform is so complete that, if you have deleted a video by mistake, you can recover it on your profile. The process that is carried out for this recovery is simple and the good thing is that everything is done within the same platform and without adding other data.
So, whether you want to delete a posted video or you want to recover it, it’s a very simple process that Facebook gives you full access to in your account.
