Wasting my AskMe on Facebook, grrr: On my page, under "Photos," it says "Photos of HotToddy" and "HotToddy's Albums." The albums are indeed photos I have posted, but under "Photos of HotToddy," someone has somehow posted a picture that is not of me and that I want removed--but there is no option to delete. What to do?

Is it tagged with your name? If so, untag it.

You should be able to untag yourself from the picture. Click on the pic to make it full size, underneath, click remove tag.

You can't delete the photo, but if you click through to the picture, you should be able to remove the tag that names you as being in it. They won't be able to readd your name to the picture and it will stop showing up in your "pictures of you".

Click on "remove tag." Presto.

Thirding this. The only reason it's coming up as being a picture of you is because someone somewhere either tagged it with your name. Just un-tag it and that should take care of it.

Well now I feel dumb! Thanks, everyone!

And if you don't want to "waste" AskMe questions on Facebook in the future, check out the Facebook Help Center. This is one of the most commonly asked questions in the Photos category.

You can also block that person, that would keep them from tagging you again mistakenly.
