You can use Facebook pages to spread awareness of your business and interact with other users on the popular social network. As the administrator of a page, you have access to the tools needed to make changes to the page, including the ability to update information, ban users, and add managers and content creators. You also have the option to delete a page. Once a page is scheduled for deletion, Facebook gives you 14 days to change your mind. After that time has elapsed, the page is permanently deleted from Facebook.

Log in to Facebook and navigate to the page you want to delete.

Select "Edit Page" to reveal a drop-down menu.

Select "Manage Permissions" from the drop-down menu to view a new page.

Select "Delete (page name)" to open a confirmation prompt.

Select "Delete Page."

Tips

You can unpublish a page so that only other admins can view its contents. Choose "Unpublish Page" from the Manage Permissions page, then select "Save Changes." Unpublishing the page leaves all of the content on the page intact. Republish the page by removing the check from the box next to "Unpublish Page" in the Manage Permissions section and choosing "Save."

Cancel page deletion by selecting "Cancel Deletion" from the Manage Permissions page.

Warnings

After your Facebook page has been deleted, you cannot recover any of the content on that page.
