How to Delete Business Page on Facebook?

    sampurnaBy Facebook 3 Mins Read

    You can only delete a business page on Facebook if you are the admin. When you delete your business page, all your page content and messages get removed permanently. Having said that, Facebook won’t delete your page from the system for about two weeks for just in case if you decide to reactivate it.

    However, you can back up your page content and information in case you want to save it before deleting your page. You have the option to either transfer a copy or download the content and information of your business page. 

    Note: In case you are unsure of deleting a page, but don’t want an audience, you could go for a less drastic option of un-publishing the page.
