Delete Facebook photos forever
Did you ever know that your deleted photos in Facebook aren't really gone permanently? Facebook is known for its photo storage feature which retains deleted photos against the user's will. Any user from the social network who has the direct link to that picture you erased can still fully view your embarassing photo.
For years, it's been a huge dilemma to facebook users on how to permanently delete inappropriate photos.
But Facebook has a good news to all users. Facebook beads farewell to the photo storage feature that was implemented on the social network. Recently, Facebook officially announced that any photos being deleted by the user from their profile will be completely removed from the system. Photos will be wiped totally within 30 days from the time of deletion but without any system delay the deletion should be completed in 14 days.
