In fact, I can explain to you, in detail, how to delete the fanpage you created on the famous social network!




    I know, by personal choice you are not very attached to Mark Zuckerberg's social network and you don't know how many of its mechanisms work, but don't worry. To delete a page on Facebook it takes a few, indeed very few clicks. It is therefore an extremely simple operation that can be carried out by everyone, even by the less experienced in the field, without problems, you have my word.

    If you don't believe it, follow the instructions on how to delete a page on Facebook that I'm about to give you and try to put them into practice. Just think, you can also do everything directly from your smartphone or tablet. But let's take it one step at a time.

    Before providing you with all the explanations of the case, I would like to make you aware of one thing. The deletion of Facebook pages is permanent bases, does not allow cancellations, and can only be implemented by the directors of the latter. So I suggest you think carefully before taking such an important step! If you are still unsure what to do, you can still do an alternative procedure that allows you to hide temporarily the fanpage to the public (keeping it visible for the administrators), a temporary elimination in short.


    For my part, I will explain what to do both in case you want to permanently delete your Facebook page and in case you simply want to hide it. The decision on what to do, keep this in mind, but it is up to you alone.

    From smartphones and tablets

    To begin with, access the app by tapping its icon on the home screen of your device and then press the button with the three lines horizontally that you find located on the right, tap on the item Pages and select the fanpage on which you intend to go to act.

    In the new screen that is shown to you at this point, press the button Other, do tap su Change settings and then close them Generali.

To confirm your intentions, tap the button Delete page.

    At this point I can not help but tell you: congratulations, you have just managed to complete the whole procedure by which to delete a page on Facebook!

    As an alternative to the procedure I have just indicated, you can also delete a page on Facebook from mobile using the app Facebook Business Suite. It is an application for Android e iOS made agolable directly by the Facebook team that allows you to create, manage and even delete Facebook and Instagram pages directly from the phone (without having to go through the computer even for a confirmation).

    After downloading it on your mobile device, authenticate using your Facebook account data (if you have already installed the steard Facebook app you should be automatically recognized) and follow the quick introduction that is offered to you. If you are asked to activate notifications or not, respond according to your needs and preferences, absolutely nothing changes for the purpose of the procedure for deleting the fanpage.

In the screen that opens, press the icon with i square which is at the bottom right and go up Settings. Finally, select the option Delete page and confirm the deletion of your page by pressing the button Delete page. Easy right?

    Delete a Facebook page temporarily

    If instead of permanently deleting a page on Facebook, you are only interested in hiding it from the public eye, I'm sorry to tell you but… from mobile it's not possible. Or rather, it is not possible using the official Facebook app or the one dedicated to the management of fan pages but only and exclusively by connecting to the desktop version of the social network from the web browser on your smartphone or tablet.

    If you are therefore interested in understeing what needs to be done to be able to delete a page on Facebook temporarily by acting from mobile connected to the browser that you usually use to surf the net from your smartphone or tablet (eg Safari or Chrome) then presses on button to access its options and enable the display of Internet sites in desktop mode.

    Then, go to the Facebook home and follow step-by-step the instructions I gave you a few lines above, when I explained how to "hibernate" a fanpage from your computer. The procedure is practically identical.
