Facebook – How to delete the own message which was mistakenly posted on a friend’s timeline

facebookfacebook-timeline

I mistakenly posted a message on a friend's timeline. I was typing the message and I accidentally hit Enter after the first letter.

enter image description here

Now I cannot delete this post. When I hover on the message, nothing happens. No menus or delete signs. Is it forbidden to delete my own messages in the new Facebook?

Best Answer

Go to your activity log, filter by Your Posts and select delete

Delete post

Or go to see friendship,

http://www.facebook.com/YOUR_USERNAME_OR_ID?and=FRIEND_USERNAME_OR_ID

And see if the message is there, click the timestamp you should arrive at

http://www.facebook.com/FRIEND_USERNAME_OR_ID/posts/POST_ID and delete the post

Delete post

If the above fails use this form http://www.facebook.com/help/contact/?id=144040449046092 it's the opposite of what's happening but I don't see why it wouldn't be using the same or around the same feature internally
