Facebook pages are useful for businesses, brands, celebrities, and other public figures to connect with their fans and customers. However, sometimes you may want to delete a Facebook page that you no longer need or use. This article will show you how to delete a Facebook page on your computer, phone, or tablet.

What You Need to Know Before Deleting a Facebook Page

• You need to be the admin of the page you want to delete. If you are not the admin, you can ask the current admin to make you one or to delete the page for you.
• Deleting a Facebook page is permanent and cannot be undone. Once you delete a page, you will lose all its content, followers, insights, and ads. If you are not sure about deleting your page, you can unpublish it instead. Unpublishing a page will make it invisible to the public, but you can still access and edit it as the admin.
• You have 30 days to cancel the deletion of your page. If you change your mind after deleting your page, you can reactivate it within 30 days. After 30 days, your page will be gone forever.
• You can download a copy of your page's information before deleting it. This will include your posts, photos, videos, messages, and other data. You can use this data for your personal or business purposes, or to create a new page in the future.
