Good to know – Facebook ‘Delete’ Can Take 16 Embarrassing Months

Good to know if a client ask us someday the question …

Facebook allows you to click “delete” on any humiliating picture in your profile. But don’t be fooled: A photo you think is gone can linger on Facebook’s servers for nearly a year and a half.

The social network removed the links to the picture right away, but never got around to removing the actual image file, meaning anyone who had or could obtain an URL to the image could get it from Facebook.
