What If I’m Not An Admin & Wish To Delete The Facebook Page?

Facebook doesn’t allow anyone else apart from the Administrator to delete the business page. But what if you’ve recently lost the Admin role or you’re set up as an Editor of the page?

To try deleting Facebook Page without Admin roles, you have to simply report the page for Breach of your intellectual property. To do so, head towards the page you wish to delete > Click on Three-dots icon below the page’s cover image & choose to Report it. Explain why you wish the page to be removed from Facebook & you never know you might end up with the desired result.

Depending on the size of the data, the process can take time. Once it’s done a link would be sent to the registered email ID. You can follow the link to download your Facebook data.

• You can Unpublish Page instead. This helps in giving yourself a break from running a Facebook without deleting the page & retaining followers as well. To unpublish your Facebook Business Page. Head towards your page > Settings > Remove Page > Choose Unpublish link instead of Deleting your Page.
