    <p>I started researching this because I wanted to be able to delete a comment on the wall of a Facebook Event, because the "Remove post" doesn't seem to be applicable to comments on an Event wall. However, since I don't know if it is even possible I decided to see if I could mannually delete a post I made to my own wall first since that is possible. Note I am <strong>NOT</strong> using any SDK; I am just building the URL and entering it in the address bar in Firefox v3.6.17.</p> <p>These posts have helped me alot since I am now starting: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5939485/delete-facebook-post-with-graph-api-trouble-getting-this-to-work">Delete facebook post with Graph API - trouble getting this to work</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2931387/facebook-sdk-and-graph-api-comment-deleting-error">Facebook SDK and Graph API Comment Deleting Error</a></p> <p>I can see the comment data and all its field via the following: </p> <pre><code>https://graph.facebook.com/[POST_ID]?access_token=[ACCESS_TOKEN] `where [POST_ID] and [ACCESS_TOKEN] were got using the graph API.` </code></pre> <p>However, where do I put the "method=delete" command in the URL? I tried putting it at the end, like </p> <pre><code>https://graph.facebook.com/[POST_ID]?access_token=[ACCESS_TOKEN]?method=delete </code></pre> <p>but that results in a OAuthException stating "Invalid access token signature" because it seems to read the method as part of the access token.</p> <p>I tried putting it after the post_id like </p> <pre><code>https://graph.facebook.com/[POST_ID}?method=delete?access_token=[ACCESS_TOKEN] </code></pre> <p>but that results in an Exception (Unsupported method) because it thinks "access_token=[ACCESS_TOKEN]" is part of the method being called.</p> <p>I see one of the posts cited above states I have to prepend the userid to the object ID when deleting by using </p> <pre><code>DELETE https://graph.facebook.com/673509687_104812882909249?access_token={access_token} `where 673509687 is my userID and 104812882909249 is the objectID` </code></pre> <p>But when I enter</p> <pre><code>DELETE https://graph.facebook.com/[POST_ID}?access_token=[ACCESS_TOKEN] </code></pre> <p>in the Firefox address bar it doesn't recognize it (I didn't think it would anyway) and uses it as a google search query.</p> <p>How do I delete a comment if I have the comment_id and my access_token using the web browser?</p>

    1. COI tried it again by sending an HTTP 1.1 DELETE method using a program to send HTTP methods and got the following response: `{"error":{"type":"OAuthException","message":"(#200) The user hasn't authorized the application to perform this action"}}` What am I missing?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
