How do I delete photos that are on facebook ?
I do not know how they got there and I know nothing about facebook.

Thanks
Larry

You can't unless you are the one that posted them. If somebody is posting photos on their account that are your photo, you have to contact FB to take them down. Unfortunately FB is all about sharing everything and are generally unsympathetic towards people wanting things removed. You may have to invoke the Millennium Act...

It was probably me that posted them, but I do not remember. There is a date on them of when they were posted. I have looked all over FB for a delete button and I cannot find it. Does FB have a working phone number?

If you posted it simply go to the photo roll the mouse into the top right corner of your post (the text part above the photo) and a little down arrow will appear, click on that and then click on delete photo:

tryed what you said above but I did not see delete. When I waved the mouse over a photo an eraser image up in the top right corner with delete being available. I am not familiar with FB. I find too compplicated for me to understand.
Thank for the help
Larry
