Since February 2004, when Facebook was founded, the social network provides us with the different tools to share various content with our friends and with the rest of the people who are not our direct contacts.
The possibility of being able to show and share our experiences and thoughts, through an image or photograph is one of the characteristics that distinguish Facebook.
The amount of photos that we upload to this social network is undoubtedly very large , many times we have shared albums that today we have decided to stop doing. This is why we will provide you with the necessary information so that you know how you can delete the photos individually or directly from the album that contains it.

How many photos can I upload to an album on my Facebook account?
One of the peculiarities that this social network has is to offer us the possibility to show the activities that we carry out daily through photos. We can also upload the images of our loved ones and people related to us.
Without us noticing the number of photos begins to increase considerably and we need to include and manage them in different albums. The amount we can include in each of them is up to 1000 photographs.
Although Facebook has not commented on it, but according to comments based on user experience, the social network supports this amount and it is estimated that an album can have up to 500 MB.

As with the computer, when we delete an album we will not be able to recover it once we have deleted it. We recommend you make a backup if you are not sure of the decisive deletion.
To directly delete an album of all the photos that are included in it we have to perform these steps:

Is there an application to delete photos from FB massively and automatically?
In the app stores there are many apps that promise to delete our photos in a massive and practically automatic way on Facebook, in addition to organizing and doing other work for us.
At first we would not have to doubt them, but when we begin to investigate a little more, we realize that they ask us for certain permissions so they can access our data.
People who take care of and study computer security recommend that we do not have to give access to this kind of applications, since our security will be in danger because they will be able to access our most important data and our security and privacy will be taking risks.
Therefore, we clarify that there is no application that can delete photos massively from Facebook and that does not compromise our privacy .
