Did you create your Facebook fan page and now you don’t want it anymore? Maybe you started over from scratch and your new page is so much better, so you don’t need the old one anymore. Here’s a simple one minute tip on how to delete Facebook business pages.
First, go to the business page you want to delete. To do that, go to your personal profile, click on the upper right-hand drop down arrow next to the “Home” link. Click on the page you would like to delete.
Once in that page, click on “Edit Page” in the upper right-hand of the page.
Then hit “Manage Permissions,” the second link on the left side of the Edit Page page. Right above the bottom “Save Changes” button, you will see a “Delete Page” link. Click on it.
A box will pop up that asks: “Delete page permanently?” Click “Delete.”
Another pop up will say, “Page permanently deleted” and you will have successfully deleted a Facebook business page.

Thank You for the tip. It has really come in handy.
Glad to be of help, Lynn!
Lynn, Thanks for the tip about how to delete the current page. It’s a new one and I’m having difficulty linking it to my blog, etc. There’s a glitch somewhere and since I don’t have fans or content yet, I thought it would be better to start over (someone else created the first one and it wants to link to her site rather than allowing me to link to mine). My concern is that after deleting the one I have now, Facebook won’t allow me to create a new one with the same name….
Hi Donna, You’re suggestions are very helpful. Have you had any experience/problems in creating a new Facebook Business page after deleting the old one?
Thank you!

Hi Nobel,
I have not had that problem; however, Facebook is very glitchy and I have had my share of problems with it! Are you experiencing difficulty creating a new FB business page?
Donna, I don’t know if I’ll have problems with creating a new page with the same name after deleting the old one (it’s new and doesn’t have any fans or content), so before deleting the old one I’m wondering if Facebook will allow me to create a new one without too much difficulty.
Nobel, how did it work out? You shouldn’t have a problem creating a new page with the same name. BUT: you can’t use the same URL. Please keep us posted, Donna S.
Thanks for this one minute tip. It was very clear and helpful. Blessings, Amy
You’re certainly welcome, Amy! Glad I could help, Donna S.
Thanks for ur wonderful article.i have a question.
I wrongly create a page for my blog.Is it possible to create a profile after that i delete my page?
Hi Subha Subramanian, somehow I just got your comment. So sorry! Please let me know if you still have a question.
Hi Donna,
You mentioned that if we delete a FB page we cannot use the same URL when starting a new FB page. What exactly is the URL? Is it the website address? I need to be able to use Origami Owl no matter what. Can you help me?
Hi Marilyn,
The url is the “address” or the words that go right after facebook.com, that leads one to your Facebook page. For example, my url is facebook.com/intouchpromotions. Do you currently have Origami Owl? It looks like this: https://www.facebook.com/origamiowl and is a cooly “living lockets” page. If this is you and you want to delete this page, call me first. 860-671-0499.
I have set up a new business page on fb and someone set one up for the business a couple years ago but no one knows the log on details or who set it up. What can we do to get rid of it??????????
i want to delete my fb account….wer can i get that link???…
thanks in advance 🙂
Hi,
To delete your personal Facebook account, go to your account. In the upper right-hand corner you see a bunch of little pictures? These are icons. Hit the icon farthest on the right. It looks like a wheel or a cog. A list will show up. Go down and “Account Settings.” Once in Account Settings, look on the left side. Hit “Security Settings.” Now once in Security Settings, look at the bottom of the list. In blue, you should see the words “Deactivate your account.” Click on that and you will be able to deactivate your account. Hope this helps!
