How to Remove or Delete Facebook Notifications

Facebook can send you notifications via email or text for almost every possible interaction on its website. The notifications can alert you if you've got a new message, were mentioned in a post, tagged in a photo or comments on your wall; among other things. You'll also see these interactions when you log in to Facebook. If you wish to remove certain notifications, you can opt out by editing your notification settings. Pop-up notifications that appear while you're logged in can be deleted immediately.

1. Log into your Facebook account.

2. Click the "Account" link, located at the top right corner of the page. Click "Account Settings" from the drop-down list that appears. The "Account Settings" page is displayed.

3. Click "Notifications" from the menu on the left side of the page. The "Notifications Settings" page is displayed.

4. Scroll to the "All Notifications" section of the page. A list of all notifications types appears, each with a check box next to it. Notifications you are subscribed to will have a check in the box, either under the "Email" column or the "Mobile" column.

5. Click the checked box next to each notification type you wish to remove. This will remove the check mark from the box and remove you from receiving the selected notification.
