How to Delete a photo on Facebook?

For all you Facebook users ... How do I delete a photo I uploaded on Facebook?

I went to the Facebook HELP, and it gave what appeared to be the exact instructions to delete a photo (shown below). It said to click on the "dot-dot-dot" in the top right. On doing that, NO "Delete Photo" appears. I tried this in both my primary browser, Firefox, and also in Microsoft Edge...same thing. I put in a feedback on Facebook to this effect, but it says no response to feedback will be given. It would be nice if these instructions worked, but they do not. Any ideas from UHH folks?

Addendum: This scenario is for one picture which I uploaded this morning. This picture shows in the "Your Photos" section. All the other pictures in the "Your Photos" section DOES show the "Delete Photo" in the Dot-dot-dot. Strange!



Clicking on Dot-dot-dot, No "Delete Photo" appears, only what is shown here

Most places you have to be the person(email address) that posted the photo or item.

I am logged in to Facebook as me, with my email address.

On a computer, under the line below "edit date" are two options: "move to archive" and "move to trash".
Can you scroll down further???

I don't do FB on the phone.

That's what everyone should do. The world would be a better place without all the vitriol that facebook generates.

I agree, Wally. I hate to be negative, but my experience is that anyplace online where people can post their thoughts, comments or ideas will eventually be the host for those who deal in vitriol. Just look at The Attic right here on UHH.

Above the photo is three dots, click on the dots, click edit post, then you should see an x in the upper right hand corner of the picture, click the x, photo should be gone.

On this one picture ONLY, there is only the 5 items after clicking the 3 Dots. This picture shows up only in the "Your Photos" button, but nobody else sees it. So, I am going to forget about it as a non-issue anymore. Thanks to all who responded.

It tells you to click on the Photo first and then from there you can delete it.
