How to Delete Facebook Status

There is no way to delete your Facebook status from the Home screen. This throws a lot of people off. However, you can do the following:

1. Click your name at the top upper-right of the page to view your posts.

2. Select the arrow to the left of the post you would like to delete, then select Remove Post…

3. Confirm removal on the dialog that appears, and the status is gone.

Hover your mouse on to the text of your post. You will notice an X mark appear at the end of the area where your post is displayed. It is not that visible so be extra observant.
