Facebook photos: Deleted today, still there tomorrow

A deleted Facebook photo may be forgotten. But that doesn't mean it's gone.

You can remove a photo from your Facebook page, but that photo might still exist on the company's servers--and could still be accessible via a direct link.

The folks at Ars Technica, who discovered this glitch back in 2009, recently found that it's still around despite efforts by Facebook to resolve it.

As a result, photos deleted months or years ago may still be accessible.
