How To Delete Videos On Facebook - How-To Geek

Regret uploading that video to Facebook that you thought was funny? No worries, you can always delete the videos you've uploaded to your Facebook account. You can do this from both your desktop and your mobile, and we'll show you how.

1. Find the video on your profile and hit the pencil icon or three-dot button.
2. Select "Delete Video."
3. When prompted to confirm, choose "Delete."

Keep in mind that you can only delete the videos that you have uploaded to your Facebook account; you can't delete others' videos. Also, once you've removed a video, it's gone forever and you can't get it back. Consider downloading a copy of your Facebook data if you want to keep your video.
