Delete a post using the post ID returned from the /post endpoint. You can delete both published and scheduled posts, but there are some differences based on the social network platform:
  • Scheduled posts can be deleted for all social networks platforms.
  • Published posts can be deleted for all social networks platforms except for Instagram and TikTok. Instagram and TikTok do not provide API support for deleting published posts. If you need to delete a published post on these platforms, you must do so manually using their respective mobile apps.
  • Facebook does not permit deleting image stories via their API (video stories can be deleted). If you need to delete an image story, please go to the Facebook mobile app and perform the deletion manually.
Instagram and TikTok do not support delete via their APIs. Please go to the Instagram or TikTok mobile apps to delete the posts.Facebook does not support image story deletion via its API. Please go to the Facebook mobile app to delete stories.
