How to Delete Picture Albums on Facebook

If you tag friends in a photo, they lose their copy when you delete the album that holds the photo.

Facebook picture albums let you organize and share your favorite photos. Each of your albums will hold up to 200 images, and Facebook allows each user to have an unlimited number of albums in her profile. If you decide you no longer like or need one of your Facebook albums, deleting it takes just a few seconds. Deleting an album, however, is irreversible, so your decision is final.

Instructions

1. Sign in to your Facebook account and click the "Profile" link at the top of any Facebook screen.

2. Click the "Photos" tab beneath your profile picture on the left side of your profile page.

3. Click the "See All Photos" link near the top of the "Photos" screen and then click the name of the album you want to remove.

4. Click the blue "Edit Album" link located just above the top row of album photos.

5. Click the blue "Delete Album" link at the bottom of the "Edit Album" pop-up window. Click the blue "Delete Album" button, when prompted, to confirm that you want to delete the album.
