I dont understand why people delete content from their FB page. Content that they put there or conversations. Do you think it's possible that they are not aware that everyone has already seen the content in their Newsfeeds? I'm talking about things like - how they feel if their football team won, what they are doing for dinner, whether they are well or not, etc. Yet they leave things other conversations or status updates on their page. I just dont get it. Is it me? Am I reding to much into people's actions?

I can't speak for everyone else on facebook, but as for myself, I tend to delete things when they have been there for along time, or at the end of each day, if its nothing really important. I only keep important status updates, or important notes.
Also I tend to do that with my pics too, whenever I start to have too many albums, or many months have passed since they were posted, I delete them so that I make more space for newer ones, and I upload the old ones to my piczo site and save them to cd.

True.
I asked some of my friends on fb who I seen do that a few times, and they said that the reason they do that is because sometimes they realize that what they said sounds kind of stupid or rude even, or just that they realize that they made mistakes in their spelling.

I have not encountered yet in Facebook that list of my friends delete the content. Is it possible to delete your content posted in your Facebook status?

Sometimes, I deleted my post in Facebook. I deleted the old post. Sometimes, I deleted post with no comment from my friend

I have one friend who has been deleting stuff off their Facebook wall, but I haven't asked her why. She often complains on her wall about her husband and kids. I know sometimes she let's her kids play some of the games on FB, so she might be deleting many of her status reports in case they start reading her wall! And I am thinking she may be afraid her husband might see her comments as well. Anyway, those are my suspicions about my FB friend.

Well not all people actually reading somebody post. And with them delete it, it is mean that they know that some one might actually already read it. But they want to make a bunch of other people whose not read it already, keep not read it.
Another reason is, maybe they think after a while that their post is hurting other, so they decide to remove it. It doesnt matter if people already read it, they just want to make the effect less worse.
