Deleted pics showing up in Facebook Camera Roll. How to delete?

Kabizm

Newbie
Deleted some unwanted pics from my gallery but they still show in my facebook upload camera roll, is there any way to delete them. Phone isn't synced to upload so can't delete these via desktop. There must be a way to delete these from phone. Tried Un-installing FB and reinstalling but they're stil there.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
 
Did you ever figure this out? Im having the same issue. Cant figure out how to delete them permanently. Please someone help!
 
Yes.

If you go into the facebook app in your phone. go to your photos. Scroll left until you get to synced. Click that to open. Then if you tap the pics you want to delete the pic will open. Bottom left is a trash can. Click the trash can and the pic gets deleted.

Hope that helps
:)
 
I dont have the SYNC turned on at all. its only when I go to upload photos to facebook every pic ive taken (even ones deleted from my gallery) show up.
Is there a way to go into the camera roll & delete them without turning SYNC on? Like is there a way to delete them from the phone memory?
Thanks.

You have to go to the "Gallery" app on your phone. Then at the top from the drop down menu select All. Delete the unwanted pictures. This will remove them from your phone and the camera roll on facebook.
 
Are you really saying to delete all the photos in the gallery in order to delete them from camera roll on facebook? I'm sorry, but that's a really dumb answer. The problem we're having is getting rid of the photos on the camera roll but keeping the photos in the gallery. Facebook, for whatever reason, added this with0ut our ok . It's intrusive, invasive and violates our privacy. I have breast cancer and have sent photos to my doctor. I don't want those on FB when someone could hack my FB page.

Now, how do we delete the photos on the camera roll WITHOUT deleting them in our gallery?

Apparently you can't get rid of the camera roll, but the pictures there are not posted on FB nor are really on FB. They're just the pictures in your gallery that are close at hand so you can choose easily if you want to post any. I don't agree, but I'm glad to hear they're not really on FB in case someone should hack my FB page.

I have just found a solution for this issue, in the photos app tap the menu bar, select "Device Folders" then the unwanted photos should be within one or more of these folders. Within these folders you can select single or multiple items and the click on the menu icon again and choose "Delete device copy". I verified the images no longer show up in Facebooks Camera Roll.
 
Can someone give me a hand with this? Are you telling me that my pictures are somewhere on my S5, and not on FaceBook?

Never mind .... Found them under DCIM folder.

Yes how do you turn it off from heat and looking at your camera roll. I don't want it to automatically look at the cameras on my phone. Does anybody have a method to make it stop looking at the camera photos on my phone

I also had deleted some photos but one the facebook camera roll they kept showing up.

The solution was quite simple, just go to the Android Settings, select Applications, then select Facebook and hit Clean Cache button.

Did the trick for me.
 
I will try this....My photo app does not have settings as described above and my Facebook settings does not have "photos"..Soooo after I cleared the cashe...all my photos are completely wiped out on Facebook...even when accessed by pc!!! Don't do this unless you want to clear all facebook pics. I just wanted to stop Facebook from automatically getting photos from my phone as soon as I take them...
