Technically speaking, the quickest way to purge all of your photos from Facebook is to delete your account. However, this isn’t going to be the best option for everyone, as many of us use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, family, colleagues and old classmates.

Troubleshooting

Is there a faster way to delete all my photos?

There is one very quick way to delete all of your photos which is through the Manage Activity tool.

To access it, go to your settings and click ‘Activity log’. Then click ‘Your posts’ and ‘Photos and videos’. This method didn’t actually show any results for us, but you should (in theory) be able to see any photos or videos you’ve posted or been tagged in and delete them from here.

Can I delete photos other people have tagged me in?

No, sadly you can only delete photos that you have uploaded yourself. You can untag yourself from unwanted photos, hide them from your profile or send that user a message politely asking that they take the image down.

If someone has uploaded a photo of you without your permission, you can also report the image to Facebook. However, it’ll be up to Facebook to decide whether that picture is a violation of its Community Standards.

I have a love-hate relationship with Facebook. Many years ago, I wanted to quit the platform. I noticed Facebook had posted some photos from my media gallery without my consent. I was angry and determined to permanently delete my account.

But then I realized it was probably my fault. In other words, I simply forgot to properly set up my account and customize all the privacy settings.

If you don’t want to go through the same experience, you need to tweak your account settings. We’ll show you exactly how you can block Facebook from accessing your photos.

Why is my gallery on Facebook?

During the initial installation, Facebook asks to provide access to your photos. But since many users don't read notifications carefully, they end up granting access to their photos gallery. In case you're using the Facebook app on your phone or computer, it's likely that it has access to your photos.
