How to Delete Facebook Direct

Maintain control in your Facebook profile by adding or deleting apps via the Privacy Settings page.

As one of the top social networks on the Web, Facebook works through an interface where each member has a profile page. A profile is like a small website in its own right, with multiple pages such as the wall, info, photos and friends. Even though your profile is similar to a website, it still has a numerical Facebook Web address. The application called Facebook Direct allows you to create a unique URL suffix. Like all Facebook applications, if you decide to delete it, you can do so in a few easy steps.

Instructions

1. Log in to your Facebook account. Click the account tab in the upper right-hand corner and select "Privacy Settings" from the drop-down menu.

2. Click "Edit Your Settings" underneath Apps and Websites at the bottom of the page. On the Apps, Games and Websites screen, click the "Edit Settings" button beside "Apps You Use."

3. Find the Facebook Direct application in the list to the left of the screen, then click the "X" across from it on the same row to remove it. Alternatively, click "Edit Settings," then "Remove App."

4. Click "Remove" in the dialog box, then click "OK" when a message pops up saying: "You have removed 'Facebook Direct."

Tips & Warnings

• Deleting an application means that it no longer has access to any new information you share, and it will no longer show up on your profile.
