1. 1

   Open Facebook on a computer. Go to https://www.facebook.com/ in your computer's web browser. While you can't delete places from your map like you used to be able to do, you can remove posts directly from the Check-Ins page.

   • If you aren't signed in, enter your email address and password in the upper-right side of the page.
   • You can only remove the location from a post that you created, though you can remove other people's location-tagged posts from your timeline.
   • You cannot remove locations from Check-Ins in the Facebook mobile app. If you're using the mobile app, try removing an individual post's location instead.

2. 2

   Click your name tab. It's in the top-right side of the Facebook page. Doing so opens your Facebook profile page.

3. 3

   Open the Check-Ins page. Select More near the top of your profile page, then click Check-Ins in the resulting drop-down menu. Doing so opens a page with a list of all of your check-ins.

   • If you don't see Check-Ins in the More menu, do the following: select More > click Manage Sections > check the "Check-Ins" box > click Save > select More and click Check-Ins.

4. 4

   Click the Cities tab. You'll find it near the top of the page, just below the "Check-Ins" heading.

5. 5

   Select a city. Near the top of the page, click the name of the city from which you want to remove a check-in post.

   • You can see additional cities into which you've checked by selecting More to the right of the right-most city.

6. 6

   Select a location. On the map in the middle of the page, click the purple location marker that you want to remove. Doing so opens a pop-up window.

   • You'll notice a number on the marker if you have more than one post from this city (e.g., a 3 denotes three posts from the selected location). You'll need to delete all of the posts in the selected location in order to remove it from your map.

7. 7

   Click the Check-In post's date. You'll see the date below your name near the top of the pop-up window. This will take you to the post.

   • You can scroll through different posts in your selected location by clicking ► in the upper-right side of the pop-up window.

8. 8

   Click ⋯ for a post or Edit for a photo. It's to the right of the post or photo from which you want to remove the location.

   • If you didn't create the post with the location, you can instead click ⋯, click Remove Tag in the drop-down menu, and click OK when prompted.
   • For a photo post that you didn't create, you'll click Allowed on timeline and then click Hidden from timeline in the resulting drop-down menu.

9. 9

   Remove the location. This step will vary depending on whether you're removing the location from a post or a photo:

   • Post - Click Edit in the drop-down menu, then click the X to the right of the location and click Done. You may first need to click the location's name and then click x to the right of the location.
   • Photo - Click the large X to the right of the location's name in the upper-right side of the page, then click Done Editing.

    Repeat this process with other posts in your selected location. Once you've removed every post that has a check-in from a specific location's window, the location will disappear from your Check-Ins page.

• Since editing a post leaves a history trail, people will be able to see that you removed a location from your post if they go into the Edit history section of the post; however, they won't be able to see what the location was.

• Remember to set location privacy options to "Friends" or "Only Me" if you don't want a location to be public.
