Ready to Delete a Facebook Page?

Here’s How to remove a Facebook page from a Desktop:

Step 1: Access Your Page Settings
Open Facebook on your computer and sign in with your account credentials.
In Facebook, click the dropdown menu in the top right corner and select “Pages” to manage your administered pages.
Choose the page you want to delete from the list.
Once on your page, navigate to the top right corner and click the three horizontal dots.
From the dropdown menu, select “Settings.” (See screenshot)

Step 2: Navigate to Deactivation and Deletion
On the left-hand side menu within Settings, click on “General.”
Scroll down until you find the “Remove Page” section. (See screenshot)
Click “Edit” next to “Remove Page.”

Step 3: Choose “Delete Page”
A pop-up will appear displaying two options: Deactivate Page and Delete Page.
Deactivate Page: This will hide your page from others but allow you to reactivate it later.
Delete Page: This permanent option will remove your page from Facebook altogether.

Step 4: Confirm Deletion (Optional)
Depending on your account settings, you should confirm your deletion by entering your Facebook password. Click “Delete” to finalize the process.

How to Delete a Facebook Page on Mobile App:

Step 1: Switch to Your Page Profile
To get started, open the Facebook app on your phone or tablet.
Select the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner (Android) or top right corner (iPhone).
Select “Pages” from the menu.
Choose the page you want to delete.

Step 2: Access Settings & Privacy
Once on your page, tap the three horizontal dots again in the bottom right corner.
From the dropdown menu, select “Settings & Privacy.” (See screenshot)

Step 3: Follow Steps 3 & 4 from Desktop Instructions
The remaining steps to delete your page on the mobile app are identical to the desktop version. Navigate to “Settings”> “General”> “Remove Page” and follow the prompts to choose “Delete Page” and confirm deletion (if necessary).

Congratulations! You’ve Successfully Deleted (or Removed) Your Facebook Page!

Once you confirm deletion, your Facebook page will be permanently removed. This process can take up to 30 days to complete. During this time, your page will not be visible to others. After 30 days, all content associated with your page, including photos, videos, and posts, will be permanently deleted.

Additional Tips and Resources:

Downloading Your Facebook Data: Before saying goodbye, consider downloading your Facebook data for safekeeping. To do this, go to your Facebook settings, click “Your Facebook Information,” and then “Download Your Information.”

Deactivating vs. Deleting: If you’re unsure about permanent deletion, consider deactivating your page instead. This allows you to take a break from Facebook but keeps the option to return in the future. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide:

Further Support: If you encounter any issues deleting your page, you can visit Facebook’s Help Center for additional resources and troubleshooting steps.

Saying Goodbye to Facebook Doesn’t Have to Be Scary

Say bye to your Facebook page quickly and easily by following these simple steps. But before you hit delete, remember: you have options! Deactivating hides your page while letting you reactivate it later while deleting permanently removes it. Choose the path that feels most comfortable for you.

The digital world is full of alternatives, so explore other social interaction or content creation platforms if that’s what you desire. There are communities and spaces online to cater to almost any interest, so don’t hesitate to venture out and discover new corners of the internet. Or, if you want a digital detox, stay away from all screens and platforms!

We hope this guide has empowered you to take control of your online presence. You are Facebook-free at last! Time to see what adventures await you beyond the social media wall (or you can always come back if you miss it).
