There are a number of reasons you may want to delete a post from Social Media, maybe you realized it isn’t the perfect post for your particular market, or you meant to put that on your Personal Account. There’s no need to worry, you can always delete that post! In this guide I will review how to remove posts from both Facebook and Twitter.

Remember: Once you delete a post you cannot retrieve it, be sure you are selecting and deleting the post you want to remove.
