Step 1: Login to your Facebook account
The first and most obvious step is to log in to your Facebook account using your email address (or phone number) and password. Make sure you have access to the Facebook post with the comment you wish to remove.
Step 2: Locate the comment
Find the Facebook post that contains the comment you want to delete. Scroll through your News Feed or visit your profile page to locate the specific post. Once you’ve found it, move on to the next step.
Step 3: Identify the comment
Once you’ve found the post, look for the comment you wish to delete. Comments are usually displayed underneath the post itself, and they may contain the commenter’s name, profile picture, and comment text.
Step 4: Access the comment options
To delete a comment, you’ll need to access the options menu for that specific comment. Look for the three dots (…) located at the top right corner of the comment. Click on the dots to reveal a drop-down menu with various options.
Step 5: Delete the comment
Within the comment options menu, click on the “Delete” option. A confirmation prompt may appear to ensure you want to delete the comment. If prompted, confirm by selecting “Delete” again.
Step 6: Comment deleted!
Once you have followed the steps above and confirmed the deletion, the comment will be permanently removed from the Facebook post. Refresh the page to see the updated post without the deleted comment.
Extra Tips
- If you accidentally delete a comment, there is no way to recover it. Ensure you really want to remove the comment before confirming its deletion.
- Deleting a comment only removes it from the specific post where it was made. It does not delete the comment from the commenter’s account or from anyone else’s notifications.
- If a comment is offensive or violates Facebook’s Community Standards, you can also report it to Facebook for review.
