Need Help With Facebook (Again)

12 years ago

I tried to Google the solution, but didn't get anywhere with it.

I just noticed this last night. When I'm on my News Feed page..over on the left side, I see Groups, Photos, Questions, Apps, Links, Etc.! Out of curiosity. I clicked on Photos and it went to a page that seems to have stored EVERY photo I've ever looked at on Facebook. Not MY photos...but photos friends have posted. There's pages and pages of photos! WTH? I didn't save the photos..they're just there and I don't have a clue WHY?

Is there a way to delete them? There's NO reason for them being there! And,is there a setting to prevent Facebook from adding/saving/storing every photo I view?

Hmm...just noticed that when I click on Photos (on the left), it drops down Video, Recent Albums,Mobile Uploads and My Uploads. If I click on Videos..all my friends videos I've viewed show up. Recent Uploads shows photos my friends have uploaded, same thing with Mobile Uploads. My Uploads takes me to MY Albums!

I didn't realize they were there, but I'm not sure why you want to delete them. What harm are they doing? People post pictures expecting them to be viewed, so I'm sure no one would mind that you looked at them. Also, I'm not at all certain anyone but you would have access to those links.

I have another take on the wedding picture.. possible she wants "fans" to think she's currently married? Same with the tat.. if "fans" see it, they know it's a guys name? On the photos on Facebook; are you sure they are on her page and not the guys? I am able to see pics by a friend of one of my friends on FB; in my friends photos page but they are not that friends pics if you look at the location on the bottom right of the picture. The tat.. I have an ex husbands name on my back shoulder; it's 3 letters and kind of merged with a larger tat. It is covered by a tank top strap; so not everyone sees it. I would love to have it made into a butterfly but have not; 1 due to the pain, I'm not sure I could handle tat pain any more and because the person I use lives too far. I do not trust just anyone to do ink on me. My hubby knows the name means nothing to me; but I also don't talk about my ex's unless it's to say something negative about them being fathers to my kids. My hubby has an ex as well As far as Facebook; my opinion is it's a relationship killer; especially in situations like yours. It is one thing if everything is private; you only have relatives & close friends; but adding people of the opposite sex or ex's can be asking for trouble. Call me old fashioned; I don't get sites like that and what the appeal is to have as many people as you can listed in your friend list; especially if your real name is used. Being separated from someone for 5 years without divorcing; I'm 1/2 & 1/2 on that one. I can understand because divorce can be expensive but the fact that she & her husband have moved on; well the adultery charge is BS. Would he really charge her with adultery at this point? Here in the states, a reason doesn't really matter. Did I read that you 2 are engaged? If the 2 of you are, I don't feel she's serious if she's still married. If you are not engaged, is it possible that this is what she's wanting from you? Without knowing either of you, you sound like 2 different people; she probably is not going to change and no matter how much you love her, it won't be enough to be able to live like this. One day you may find yourself married to her, she's pregnant & you're not sure whether you are the father. Then there is the fact that she goes out and sings; where will you be?

I don't actively use Facebook so have no idea if this helps or not. https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10200859004145399 Part of the comment by John Richards Jr...

It's just the principle of them being there..and I didn't save them. I'm aware that the photos/videos were put there by friends to be "viewed" and friends don't mind me viewing them. It's Facebook saving/storing them without MY knowledge that bugs me!

Those are just standard FB links, not necessarily storage of things you've looked at before.

You don't need to delete them or worry about them...they are just there for your convenience if you want to see them.

When you use the internet, you are tracked in more ways than you can imagine. We can tell what sites you go to, what you're interested in, estimate at your gender and age range and all of that demographic and behavioral information is used for targeted advertising. So if you post on a cruise ship forum, that's why you sometimes see a Royal Caribbean cruise advertisement next time you're on Yahoo mail even though they are completely different sites.

You can delete cookies and I'm sure there are programs to give you more privacy but when you choose to use the internet, that is what happens. Facebook, as well as millions of other sites, knows exactly what you look at, how long you look at it and what you do before and afterwards. It's intrusive but it's legal and it's definitely the reality so you either have to defend yourself against it, ignore it, or don't use the internet.

Facebook makes its money from advertising. And advertisers use it because they can choose locations, age and interests of the users. And Facebook provides that because they track it. You agree to it when you sign up.

Sorry but I can't help with your question about how to get rid of it as I've never seen that before. I just wanted to help answer your "why" question. :)
