A Facebook page is undoubtedly one of the most effective ways to connect with your friends or customers. However, you may wish to delete your page if you feel it no longer serves the intended purpose.

Deleting a page on Facebook is straightforward. But first, it is important to note that you can only delete a page if you’re an admin of the page.

An admin, as Facebook calls it, is either the person who created the page or some other user assigned the role by the creator. This article shows you how you can delete your page using a few simple steps. Let’s get started!

How to Delete a Page on Facebook You Created

There are several categories of Facebook pages, including business pages, company pages, and community pages.

If you own any of these pages, you can delete them by following these steps:

1. Open Your Page: Log in to the Facebook account that is an admin of the page you want to delete.
2. Go to Settings: From your Facebook News Feed, click on the small arrow in the top-right corner, then select the page you want to delete from the drop-down menu. This will take you to your page.
3. Access Page Settings: Once you’re on your page, click on “Settings” located in the top-right corner of the page.
4. General Settings: In the left column, you’ll find a list of options. Click on “General.”
5. Remove Page: Scroll down until you find the “Remove Page” section. Click on “Remove Page.”
6. Delete Page Confirmation: A confirmation box will appear, asking if you are sure you want to delete the page. If you’re absolutely sure, click on “Delete [Page Name].”
7. Page Deletion: Another window will appear, explaining that you have 14 days to restore the page if you change your mind. If you’re still certain you want to proceed, click “Delete Page.”

Remember that after you delete a page, you have 14 days to restore it if you change your mind. After 14 days, the page will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
