You can get rid of your embarrassing childhood or teenage photos from your Facebook profile by deleting them. However, removing multiple pictures can be a time-consuming task if done individually. Let’s explore if you can delete multiple photos on Facebook at once to save you time and effort.

Note: You can only delete your uploaded photos from the Your Photos section. You cannot delete anything from the Photos of You section, because it contains pictures uploaded by others in which you are tagged. You can only remove the tag from those photos to delete them from your profile.
