What are the steps to delete a Facebook business page? I’m looking for a detailed guide on removing a page from Facebook, including any important considerations or prerequisites I should be aware of before proceeding with the deletion.
In the General settings, I found the option to delete the page. This section is where I made the final changes to proceed with the deletion.

Before deleting your Facebook business page, it’s important to understand the implications, as once deleted, the page and its data cannot be recovered.
Steps to Delete Your Facebook Business Page:
- Log In: Ensure you’re logged into the account that manages the page.
- Navigate to Your Page: Click on the page you wish to delete.
- Access Page Settings: Click the three dots in the top right corner and select “Settings.”
- Go to the “General” Tab: Click on “General” in the left-hand menu.
- Find “Remove Page”: Scroll down and click on “Remove Page.”
- Confirm Deletion: Follow the prompts to confirm the deletion by clicking “Delete Page.”
Important Considerations:
- Data Loss: Deleting the page will permanently erase all its data, including posts, photos, videos, reviews, and messages.
- Custom URL: Any custom URL associated with the page will no longer be valid.
- Business Manager: If your page is linked to a Business Manager account, removing the page will also remove it from Business Manager.
If you’re unsure about deleting your page, consider deactivating it instead. Deactivating will hide the page from public view but retain its data for future reactivation.
To delete a Facebook business page:
