how to delete a facebook page
Have you created a Facebook page, only to find that you no longer need it and want to know how to delete a Facebook page? You are not alone.
A Facebook page is different from a profile, however. Your user profile represents you as an individual where you can interact with friends and keep track of the privacy of the information you share. A page is a public representation of a person, place, organization, group, or anything else anyone on Facebook might like to follow your posts.
 

Step-by-step to delete a Facebook page

 
Follow these steps to learn how to delete a Facebook page and expect it to be permanently deleted.
 

Make sure you’re an administrator of the page you want to delete.

 
Only users assigned to the administrator role can delete Facebook pages. If you created the page, you are already the administrator by default. However, if you did not create the page, you must have been granted permission from another page administrator to become an administrator.

  • ·         Go to Facebook
  • ·         Select Pages from the left menu and click Your Pages.
  • ·         Pages link on the Facebook main page
  • ·         Click Your Pages and click the page you want to delete.

How to delete the Facebook page and wait for permanent deletion

Deleting a Facebook page removes it from Facebook for a period of 14 days, after which you will be asked to confirm its permanent deletion. Facebook maintains this 14-day page removal period if you change your mind and want to restore it.
Once you confirm your deletion, the Facebook page can never be restored.
Before you delete your page, first consider some alternative options:
Instead, unpublish the page: Unpublishing your page makes it inaccessible to the public, including people who liked your page. The only people who can still see your page are those with page functions.
Merge the page with an existing similar page: If you are managing another page with a similar name and representation, Facebook will allow you to merge it with the one you no longer want to keep.
Download a copy of page data before deleting it: Get page data to have a copy of all your posts, photos, videos, and page information.
Each of the above can be done on the page settings tab. Look for the Page Visibility section to unpublish the page, the Merge Posts section to combine it with a similar page, and the Page Download section to download a copy of the page.
Note: You can download the page only from a web browser.
To proceed with the deletion of a process on Facebook.com:
  • ·         Scroll down the page settings tab to the bottom until you see Remove Page.
  • ·         Click Remove Page (or Edit beside).
  • ·         Remove the Page button under Page Settings
  • ·         Select Save Changes in the popup box to delete your page.
  • ·         Save and delete changes to the Facebook pages button.
