Facebook changes their layout and structure continuously. They call it 'updates'. This keeps us fit and flexible but also means that we always spend time looking for the things we just started to get used to. It also means that as soon as you have finally understood how it works, it has just changed. After my previous article answering this question I had feedback that it did not work anymore, so here is an updated version.
Your uploaded pictures
Easy: For your own photos simply open the photo and you will find the 'Options' menu below the picture on the right hand side. Choose 'Delete this Photo'. Alternatively, if in an album, open the album, click on the 'edit album' link and once you scroll over a picture there is an options menu in the top right corner that appears when you click on the down arrow. Click 'Remove this Photo'.
If you want to delete a whole album, simply click on the delete button on the line with the title of the album next to the 'add photos' link.
Your uploaded pictures in a group
You can only delete photos in a group if you are the administrator. If you are then, once you have the photo opened, there is an 'Options' menu below the picture on the right hand side. Choose 'Remove this Photo'.
If you are not the administrator you might want to ask the administrator to remove it for you.
Someone's uploaded picture of you
If someone else has uploaded a photo and tagged you, you can click on the wheel symbol in the top right corner and select 'Report/Remove Tag'. This means that the photo won't show on your timeline anymore. Additionally, you might like to turn on an option called 'Profile Review' to approve tags before they become public. This option can be found in your privacy settings under 'Timeline and Tagging'.
This does not mean that the photo is gone; it is still visible on the person's wall that uploaded it and also to their friends.
Your profile picture
Just like any other of your photos delete it using the options menu. If you have already updated to timeline hover over your profile picture and the options menu appears. You can choose a new one, take a photo, upload from pictures, edit thumbnail or remove it.
Abusive or unwanted pictures
You can also report a photo if all else fails. Every photo has the 'Options' menu below the picture on the right hand side. The available options change, depending on whether the picture is yours or someone else's. You can click on 'Report This Photo' and it will give the following options to choose from: spam or scam, nudity or pornography, graphic violence, hate speech or symbol, illegal drug use. Choose the option that best describes your situation. All reports are strictly confidential.
