Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I followed the steps in this article, I tried the steps for mobile and the steps using a computer’s browser, but I can’t see a delete page option. Am I missing something?
A: You may not have an Admin role for the page that you want to delete. A Facebook page has different page roles. Only an Admin role can make critical changes such as deleting the page. To check your role on the Facebook page go to the Facebook Page > Settings > Page Roles > Check your role in the Existing Role tab.
Q: I already deleted my Facebook page but it is still there? I can still see the page and people engages with the page.
A: It takes 14 days from the confirmation of deletion before Facebook removes your page from the system. This is to give you enough time to undo the deletion in case if it was by mistake, or you had a change or mind, or it was unauthorized. After 14 days Facebook will delete your page.
Q: I deleted my Facebook page 15 days ago before I realized it was a bad move. Is there a way for me to recover my Facebook page?
A: After the 14-day deletion window allowance, Facebook will remove your page permanently. There is no way to recover the deleted Facebook page after 14 days. Appealing to Facebook would not give any positive results either.
