Important Considerations

Facebook provides a grace period. For a Page, it is 14 days; During this time, you can cancel the deletion request. After the grace period, the Page and all its content will be permanently deleted.

Alternatives to Deletion

Before permanently deleting your business account, consider these alternatives:

• Unpublishing Your Page: This hides your Page from the public, but keeps it accessible to admins. To unpublish, go to Page Settings, then “Page Visibility” and select “Page unpublished.”
• Deactivating Your Account: Deactivating removes your profile and Page from public view, but allows you to reactivate it later.

Consequences of Deletion

Deleting your Facebook business account is permanent. Once deleted:

• You will not be able to recover the Page or its content.
• Your Page name becomes available for others to use.
• All posts, photos, videos, and other content will be permanently removed.

Managing Connected Accounts

Meta’s Account Center integrates Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Deleting your Facebook Page will not directly delete your Instagram account, but it may impact connected features. Manage connected accounts within the Account Center settings.

Before deleting, download any data you wish to keep from your Page. Go to Page Settings, then “Privacy,” then “Facebook Page Information” and download your information.

If you are certain you want to proceed, follow the steps outlined above to permanently delete your Facebook business account. Remember that this action is irreversible.
