First off, the photo you're trying to delete must have been uploaded by the app that's trying to delete it. This is mentioned in the Facebook Documentation: A photo can only be removed by the same app that published it.

You'll need a valid Page Access Token to delete the photo too. You can get this my adding the manage_pages permission and calling /me/accounts to get the list of access tokens, finding the one for the correct page).

Finally, calling: https://graph.facebook.com/{PHOTO_ID}?access_token={PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN}&method=DELETE will delete the photo if the app has permission, otherwise you'll receive a error like:

{
   "error": {
      "message": "(#200) Permissions error",
      "type": "OAuthException",
      "code": 200
   }
}
