An article by Doug Austin posted in the eDiscovery Daily Blog.
This article discusses the practices followed by Facebook regarding deleted images, and addresses the fact that many photos that were deleted on Facebook still appear on the Facebook servers. The article provides a link to an article provided by Ars Technica on this topic.
The article states, "As author (from Ars Technica) Jacqui Cheng notes, “There were plenty of stories in between as well, and panicked Facebook users continue to e-mail me, asking if we have heard of any new way to ensure that their deleted photos are, well, deleted. For example, one reader linked me to a photo that a friend of his had posted of his toddler crawling naked on the lawn. He asked his friend to take it down for obvious reasons, and so the friend did—in May of 2008. As of this writing in 2012, I have personally confirmed that the photo is still online, as are several others that readers linked me to that were deleted at various points in 2009 and 2010.” However, she noted that Facebook did delete herpictures after she did a story in 2010."
In addition, the article provides several links to other items that can be used to illustrate the example of Facebook photos that were deleted by users whom posted them, but where the photo still exists in Facebook's internal environment.
