  1. This info was very helpful and just what I was looking for.

      C Magnus, We are glad to hear that the information helped!

  2. Hallelujah! Thanks for the great step-by-step explanation. I visited about 10 other sites and this was the only one that worked (and used a different process than the others). Thank you!

  3. great………..

  4. Does not seem to work this way on the iPad, either in the Facebook app or going into Facebook through the web. Can it be done on the iPad?

      Hi Bruce,
      Thank you for stopping by. Yes, we have had success removing a “Like” from a link on Facebook using an iPad 2.

  5. This page looks very useful. Would you update this page to be applicable to the new (updated on March 31, 2012) Facebook format?

  6. I agree with Bruce, does not work this way with an iPad 1. Could you provide revised instructions?

  7. Thanks – I was afraid I had really messed up and nothing could be done.

  8. Hi.

    I can’t seem to remove a post from my facebook page.. When I try, it says “try again later”..

    This often happens, because, sometimes a person posts something, and then want the option of deleting that post, but when I try to delete, it refuses! This very frustrating..

    Please tell me why this happens, and tell me why it takes SO long to eventually delete a post?

    Regards

    Hayley

      Hi Hayley,
      Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine why it is taking you so long to delete a post on Facebook. It can be a number of reasons from your connection speed or device you are using (PC, iPad, etc.) to a temporary hiccup in the Facebook interface.

      I have noticed that when I click the “Edit or Remove” button next to a post, that I have to click it twice at times to show the drop down menu so that I can click delete or hide from Timeline. This process is also slow on an iPad.

      I hope this has helped, Hayley. Please let us know if you have further questions.
