When To Delete Your Comment or Reaction on Facebook
You may desire to delete or edit your comment on your post or post made by another person if you feel that your comment was offensive to the poster or that such a comment could cause your account to be restricted by Facebook.
If your comment is misinterpreted, you may want to delete such a comment for the sake of your reputation and safety from being attacked by ‘Facebook frequents’.
