The quick answer on how to remove Shortcuts on Facebook:
To remove a Shortcut on Facebook, click on the “More” tab in your shortcuts bar and select “Manage Shortcuts”. This will open your list of shortcuts. Find the shortcut you want to remove and click the “X” icon next to it to delete it.
Facebook Shortcuts are handy tools that provide quick access to different parts of Facebook with just one click. The shortcuts bar appears near the top of your Facebook feed and can contain shortcuts to pages you manage, events, groups and more. While these shortcuts can save you time, your shortcut bar may start to feel cluttered if you have too many options.
Accessing Your List of Shortcuts
To view your full list of shortcuts and make changes:
- Click on the “More” tab at the far right of your shortcuts bar.
- Select “Manage Shortcuts” from the dropdown menu.
This will open your shortcuts manager where you can see all of your current shortcuts.
Deleting Individual Shortcuts
To remove a specific shortcut:
- Open your shortcuts manager using the steps above.
- Find the shortcut you want to remove and hover over it.
- Click the “X” icon that appears to the right of the shortcut.
The shortcut will be immediately removed from your shortcuts bar.
Removing All Shortcuts
If you want to delete all of your current shortcuts at once:
- Go to your shortcuts manager.
- Click “Clear All Shortcuts” at the top of the page.
This will instantly delete every shortcut you have configured. Your shortcuts bar will be empty until you add new shortcuts.
Preventing Shortcuts From Reappearing
In some cases, you may find that old shortcuts keep reappearing after you have deleted them. This is often caused by Facebook automatically adding shortcuts it thinks you may want quick access to.
To prevent this from happening:
- Go to your shortcuts manager.
- Turn off the toggle next to “Let Facebook recommend shortcuts for you” at the top of the page.
With recommendations turned off, only shortcuts you manually add yourself will show up.
Adding New Shortcuts
Once you’ve decluttered your shortcut bar, you may want to add some useful shortcuts back:
- To add a page shortcut, go to the page and select “Add Shortcut” from the menu.
- To add a group, go to the group and choose “Add to Shortcuts.”
- Event shortcuts can be added from the event page or from your Events tab.
Customize your shortcut bar with the pages, groups, and events you use most often for quick one-click access.
