This wikiHow teaches you how to remove your name from a photo, video, status, or check-in that has your profile tagged on Facebook. Posts tagged with your name will appear on your profile page. When a bookmark is removed, the post will also be removed from the profile. You can unmark via the Facebook mobile app and the desktop site. You can also adjust your tagging settings to prevent posts containing your profile tag from being automatically displayed on your personal Facebook page.
