The difference between a Facebook profile and a Facebook page
Let’s make sure we’re talking about the same things.
A Facebook profile is your personal Facebook account that you use to connect with your family and friends and watch cute cat videos.
You can update your Facebook friends about your life and see what others are up to. You can even get your news from your news feed, depending on what pages you’re following.
In contrast, a Facebook page is usually created for a business to interact with customers, promote products and services, and increase its online presence. It’s not a personal account but a part of a bigger marketing strategy.
In the following section, we’ll discuss all things you need to know about deleting your Facebook business page.
If you want to delete your Facebook business page, you must be its administrator.
If you’re not 100% sure about your page deletion, consider unpublishing it instead. You’ll be able to publish it again when you want to - no information will be lost.
If you delete your page and change your mind, you can still reactivate it within 14 days after you initiate its deletion. The page also remains visible to the public for 14 days.
How to delete a Facebook page on desktop
If you’re sure that you want to delete your Facebook page permanently, here’s how to do it via desktop:
Make sure you’re the admin of the page you want to delete.
Open your Facebook feed and click Pages in the left menu.
Choose the page you want to delete.
On the bottom left of your dashboard, click Settings.
Navigate to the General tab and click Remove Page:
Click Delete [Your Page Name] and click OK.
That’s it. Your Facebook page will remain visible for the next 14 days and will be deleted permanently after this time has passed. If you want to cancel deletion, you can do it in those 14 days.
If your page visibility concerns you - in other words, you want it gone this very minute from the public eye, unpublish it before deleting it (scroll down to learn how to do it).
If you’re not sure you want to delete your Facebook business page permanently, you have a few alternatives.
You can either get your page unpublished or merge it with another one. The first option is great for those who may want to use their Facebook page later but, for now, want it out of the public eye.
The second option lets you get rid of the old Facebook page but transfer its likes to the new one. It’s a win-win situation!
1. Unpublish your Facebook page
You may want to get your Facebook business page unpublished for a few reasons:
You may have an old Facebook page that needs to be updated.
You may have a new Facebook page that you haven’t finished working on and don’t want to be visible to the public until everything’s set.
You may have created a fan page for Justin Timberlake a while ago, and it doesn’t feel like your thing anymore.
You’re not sure you want to delete your Facebook page permanently.
Here’ how to unpublish your Facebook page:
Go to Facebook. In your News Feed, click Pages (you’ll find it in the left menu).
Click the page you want to unpublish and choose Page Settings.
Navigate to General and click Page Visibility.
Select Page unpublished.
Click Save Changes.
Facebook will ask why you want to unpublish your page. Give your reason.
Click Next and Unpublish.
That’s it! If you want to publish your Facebook page again, follow the same instructions, only, in the 4th step, choose Page published.
2. Merge your Facebook pages
Open your Facebook app.
In the top right corner, click on the hamburger menu.
Click Pages.
You’ll see a list of all your Facebook pages. Click the one you want to merge.
Click Settings.
Choose General.
Click Merge Pages.
Facebook will ask you to enter your Facebook password. You’ll have to choose the two pages you want to merge.
Here are the requirements your pages need to meet for the merger to happen:
You can only merge requested pages if you’re an admin for both of them.
The pages need to be on the same topic.
The pages need to represent the same thing and have similar names.
Your pages need to have the same physical location if it’s applicable.
