Have you ever posted a Facebook Story but changed your mind anyway? Stories on Facebook is one way of keeping your friends updated with what is new about you. It is fast and easy without all the hassle of adding a caption if you don’t want to. You can upload videos or photos about your day or a post of what you want to relay to other people.

But, sometimes, we find ourselves regretting something we post that we want to remove as soon as possible. If it is a post on your Facebook Story, you can delete it at any time and stop it from showing on your Facebook profile or Messenger account and your social media archive.
