How to Edit or Delete a Scheduled Facebook Post

You can edit a scheduled Facebook post in Meta Business Suite's Planner right up until the moment it publishes. Open Business Suite, go to Content or Planner, find the post, and click into it to change the caption, media, or scheduled time, or delete it entirely.

Finding your scheduled posts in Business Suite's planner

Scheduled posts live in the Planner tab of Meta Business Suite, viewable as a calendar or list. Click on any upcoming post to open its editing view. If you originally scheduled the post through a different tool, like a third-party scheduler, it will not show up in Business Suite's Planner and needs to be edited back in the tool you used to create it.

What's editable before it goes live

Before publication, you can change the caption text, swap out the linked content, update the image or video, and change the date and time. Essentially everything about the post is still adjustable as long as it has not been published yet. This is worth knowing if you catch a typo or a broken link the day before a post is set to go out, since a full edit is faster than deleting and starting over.

How to reschedule a Facebook post

To reschedule a Facebook post, open it from the Planner, adjust the date and time field, and save. There is no limit on how many times you can reschedule the same post before it publishes, so moving something back a day or pushing it out a week is a quick edit rather than a re-creation.

How to delete a scheduled Facebook post

Open the post from the Planner and choose the delete option, then confirm. Once deleted, it is permanently removed from the queue with no way to recover it, so double check you have the right post before confirming, especially if you have several scheduled close together.

Reducing scheduling mistakes going forward

A lot of edits happen because a post was scheduled in a rush without a final review. Drafting posts a few days ahead with a Facebook scheduler gives you a buffer to catch mistakes before they go live, rather than editing under time pressure. Posted Once shows your full queue across all ten platforms in one calendar view, making it easier to spot an error before the scheduled time arrives. Get started free.
