How to remove or delete an application from your Facebook account?

with 10 comments

Since they revamped the Facebook user interface some time ago, everything looks a bit different and I had a tough time navigating around the site. It was also tedious to remove an application from my profile and it took me some time to figure out the option that does the same.

So I thought of writing this up so that in case anyone finds navigating the site wearisome, they can refer to this and get the application removed quickly from their profiles.

In order to remove an application from your Facebook account, here is what you need to do:

  • First, login to your Facebook account
  • Click on the Applications menu in the bar on the bottom of the screen and then click Edit

The application will now be deleted from your Facebook profile. You’ll not be able to use its functions unless you add it to your Facebook profile again.

  3. What I really need to know is how to delete a FB app that failed during install. I got an error when I tried to install it and now when I try to run it, FB thinks it isn’t installed. But when I try to reinstall it, FB thinks it is already installed. I’m hoping if I delete it, I can try to reinstall it but it doesn’t ever show up in my list of installed apps. I emailed FB help but never herd back. Anyone know what I can do?

  4. Excellent. Something so simple yet buried and labeled so inconvenient.
