Drafted or scheduled social posts can be edited before publishing. However, you cannot edit a social post that has already been published. Instead, you can clone the post, make any additional edits, then republish the new post.
You can also delete a drafted or scheduled post or delete a post you've already published. Learn more about reviewing your published social posts.
Please note: you cannot edit or delete an image on a Facebook post you published through HubSpot.

Delete published social posts
When deleting your published social posts, please note the following:- Only posts published via HubSpot can be deleted from the social tool. Externally published posts cannot be deleted through HubSpot and must be deleted directly from their respective platforms.
- Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter posts can be deleted through HubSpot after they are published. Due to Instagram's API limitations, Instagram posts cannot be deleted through HubSpot once published and must be deleted directly on Instagram.
- Deleting a post externally will not delete it in HubSpot. If a post is deleted from the social platform, the post and associated data will still display in HubSpot. Any attempts to view the post on the social platform from HubSpot will result in an error. To remove the post from your social tool, you can delete it in HubSpot as well.
To delete a published social post:
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Social.
- Hover over the social post to delete, then click the Actions > Delete.
- In the dialog box, click Delete post.
