Amazing write-up! This could aid plenty of people find out more about this particular issue. Are you keen to integrate video clips coupled with these? It would absolutely help out. Your conclusion was spot on and thanks to you; I probably won’t have to describe everything to my pals. I can simply direct them here!

Hi Sahil,I have answered this question before, 0.try to recover your password with mobile if you have attached it to your account.1.try to recover yahoo password, click on i cant access my account and recover with your recovery id or security questions.2. you can report the account as your old account from your new profile.3.or you may report it as a fake account.as pretending to be me.ask your friends to do the same and report the account as pretending to be someone i know, and then then type your name.I dont know why do you guys try yo deactivate your old account, just forget it unless someone else is misusing it.if you dont like it to appear.just block it from your new account!(Itna type mat karwao yar, thand me type bhi nahi hota :)

So, your main problem is you cant access facebook, not deleting posts!What message do you see when you try to access your accopunt ?Try a different pc or different browser or the same browser by removing cookies cache etc.

Rasheed, may be they delete the comments before you read them!or some times it happens that, comments are not displayed, but appears again when you refresh or check after some time, may be use different browser or login again.1. click on notification icon >select all notifications.you can see whether a comment is posted or not, if the comment is deleted, it will not be listed any more in the notification list when you refresh,2.you can check your email,you will find their comments in the notification email.3.You can also activate text notifications.

You clicked on something and you came to know that the video (they are fake videos mostly- just a link) is posted from your profile on many walls, right ?.you will have to manually delete it.check your recent activity, or ask a friend to tell you the profiles on which you posted the "video".then go to their profile one by one and delete it by clicking the cross on the right side of the post.Else update a status or send a message saying "friends it was a spam, delete the posts."so they will do it by themselves.And next time do not click something that looks too amazing to be real.eg "katrina kaif uncensored" spam was the latest.mostly, it happens only once when you click such things, but stillcheck if any spammy app is there on your list of used apps, remove it.

You can't always remove Facebook photos that someone else posts, even if they're of you. You can remove unwanted photos that someone posts directly to your profile or business page by selecting the three dot (...) menu icon in the top right corner of the post that contains the photo. Select either Hide from Timeline or Delete to remove it. You can also remove Facebook tags that link a photo to you and cause unwanted photos to appear on your personal timeline or business page. Another way to prevent unwanted photos is to control who can use Facebook photo tags to tag you and approve what gets posted to your timeline.

Understanding Facebook Photo Tags

When someone uploads a photo or posts most other types of content to Facebook, they can tag a person or business page to associate the post with that user or organization. That photo is then potentially visible and highlighted for that user's friends or followers.

If your personal account or business page is tagged in something and you do not want to be tagged, hover over the photo using your mouse and click the Options button if you're on a computer or tap the ... menu icon on a smart phone or tablet. Click or tap Remove tag to remove the tag.

The photo remains on Facebook, and other people you know may still see it. Even others may have seen that you were tagged before you remove the tag. If a photo is harassing, obscene or otherwise inappropriate, report it to Facebook.

Preventing Unwanted Photo Tagging

If you have issues with people tagging you in unflattering photos or posts or you prefer to review tags before they appear to link you to Facebook content, use a Facebook setting that lets you review tags before they show up.

To do so, tap the down-arrow button on the web version of Facebook to load the Facebook menu and choose Settings. On the Facebook smart phone or tablet app, tap the menu button, tap Settings & Privacy and then Settings.

Click or tap Timeline & Tagging. Find the setting that says Review tags people add to your posts before the tags appear on Facebook? On the web version of Facebook, click the Edit button. On an app, tap the setting itself. Toggle the setting to On.

In the future, Facebook sends a notification when someone attempts to tag you, and the tag never appears unless you permit it.

Controlling What's on Your Timeline

For personal Facebook accounts, you can allow people to tag you in posts and photos but control whether the content appears on your timeline without your permission.

To do so, visit the Timeline & Tagging submenu in the Settings menu and look for the Review posts you're tagged in before the post appears on your timeline option. On the web version of Facebook, click the Edit button. On an app, tap the setting itself. Toggle the setting to On.

You then receive a notification whenever you are tagged in a post before it appears on your timeline, and it won't appear unless you approve it.

If you want to delete a single post from your personal or business timeline, click or tap the ... menu icon next to the post. Click Hide from timeline to remove it from your timeline.

Controlling What's on Business Pages

If you want to approve photos before people post them to your business page, log in to an account with administrative access to the page and click the Settings button at the top of the page. Click the General option, followed by Visitor Posts.

Check Disable posts by other people on the Page to disallow visitors to post entirely. If you prefer, check Allow visitors to the Page to publish posts and then check or uncheck Allow photos or video posts.

Also, check Review posts by other people before they are published to the Page if you want a chance to review posts before they appear.
