Why is “Delete Photo” not showing as an option for me?

If you don’t have “Delete This Photo” as an option, the photo is owned by another person. All you can do is remove the tag from the photo.

    The instructions for deleting a photo on Facebook when using an iPad are incorrect.
    The second instruction to tap “ More” is impossible as the right hand lower corner does not have this button to tap .
