The process takes less than a minute whether you use a phone or computer, though the exact steps differ slightly between the mobile app and the website.

The review disappears from the seller's or buyer's profile once you delete it. Other people cannot see it anymore, and it no longer affects their rating. If you left a review by mistake, gave it a second thought, or straightforward want to clean up your Marketplace history, deletion is straightforward.

Delete a review on the Marketplace mobile app

Open the Facebook app and tap the Marketplace icon at the bottom of your screen. This icon looks like a storefront. Once Marketplace opens, tap your profile icon in the top right corner — it shows your name or profile picture.

Scroll down until you see a section labeled "Reviews" or "My Reviews." Tap on the review you want to delete.

Tap those three dots.

A small menu will appear with options. Select "Delete" or "Delete Review." Facebook will ask you to confirm. Tap "Delete" again to finish. The review is now gone from the seller's or buyer's profile and from your own review history.

Delete a review on the Facebook website

Go to Facebook.com and click the Marketplace icon on the left side of your screen. Once Marketplace loads, click your profile name or picture in the top right corner. This takes you to your Marketplace profile page.

Look for a section showing your reviews — this may be labeled "Reviews," "My Reviews," or "Activity." Click on the review you want to remove. The review will expand or open in a larger view. In the top right corner of the review, you will see three dots. Click those dots to open a menu.

Select "Delete" from the menu that appears. Facebook will ask you to confirm your choice. Click "Delete" again to remove the review permanently. It will no longer appear on the other person's profile or in your activity history.

What happens after you delete a review

Once you delete a review, it disappears from the seller's or buyer's profile when ready. Their rating updates to reflect the removal — if they had five reviews and you delete yours, they now show four reviews. The average rating they display may also change if your review was a particularly high or low score.

The person who received the review does not get a notification that you deleted it. They will straightforward notice over time that their review count has gone down. There is no record left behind showing that a review was deleted, and you cannot recover the text of a deleted review from Facebook.

Leave a new review if you change your mind

After you delete a review, you can leave a different review for the same person in the future. Facebook does not lock you out or prevent you from reviewing someone twice. If you want to update your feedback — perhaps because you had a follow-up interaction or realized your first review was unfair — you can delete the old one and write a new one.

When you write a new review, treat it as a fresh start. You can give a different rating, write different text, and take your time before submitting. Once you submit, you can delete this new review the same way you deleted the first one.

Reasons people delete Marketplace reviews

Some people delete reviews because they left them in anger and later regretted the tone. Others delete them after resolving a problem with the seller or buyer — for example, if an item arrived damaged but the seller replaced it, you might remove a negative review. Some delete reviews straightforward to keep their Marketplace profile clean and remove old feedback they no longer feel represents their experience.

You might also delete a review if you realize you left it for the wrong person, or if you accidentally submitted a review before finishing your thoughts. Whatever your reason, the process is the same and takes only a few seconds.
