Essentially, it means hiding it. However, there are ways to delete a page, including Permanent deletion, Temporary deactivation, and reporting it for deletion. Read on to learn how to delete a Facebook page. You may also want to delete a Facebook page temporarily. Hopefully, this article has been helpful. The information below will get you started.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unpublishing_a_Facebook_page_is_essentially_hiding_it\"><\/span>Unpublishing a Facebook page is essentially hiding it<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can temporarily hide your Facebook page by unpublishing it. This action will make your page invisible to everyone but those with admin access. You can then republish it if you need to. Unpublishing a Facebook page is less drastic than deleting it, so you can use it if you don&#8217;t have time to promote your page. Unpublishing your page will save you time later.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike deleting a Facebook page, unpublishing a page will not make it private to everyone, so it&#8217;s best to keep this in mind. By unpublishing your page, people who don&#8217;t have the admin role won&#8217;t see it and won&#8217;t be able to follow it. Besides removing the public view of your page, unpublishing also prevents any ads from pointing at it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Permanently_deleting_a_Facebook_page\"><\/span>Permanently deleting a Facebook page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a business page and wish to get rid of it, you may be wondering how to do so. Facebook has several ways of deleting pages, including merging your old page with another. Alternatively, you can unpublish your page and keep it in place if you wish. In either case, you need to have a Facebook account in order to delete it. The process is the same for all types of pages.<\/p>\n<p>To permanently delete your page, you must be an administrator or creator. In order to delete a page, you need to log in to your Facebook account and go to General page settings. Then, click &#8220;Delete Page&#8221; or &#8220;Edit&#8221; next to the page you wish to delete. Keep in mind that this action does not delete your page immediately and you will have to confirm your decision. So, you&#8217;ll have to wait at least 14 days to permanently delete your page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporary_deactivating_a_Facebook_page\"><\/span>Temporary deactivating a Facebook page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can temporarily deactivate a Facebook page to prevent people from seeing it for 14 days. After 14 days, Facebook asks users whether they want to permanently delete the Page, which will remove all of its contents. You can temporarily disable this function by unpublishing the page, which will keep it visible to administrators only. If you don&#8217;t want to delete the Page, you can cancel it by clicking Cancel Deletion.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, deactivating a Facebook page is a relatively easy process. If you have forgotten your password, don&#8217;t worry! Facebook will restore your profile so that you can use it to sign into other websites. To deactivate a page, all you need is your Facebook login password and a reason for deactivating it. You can always come back anytime you want! There&#8217;s no time limit, either.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reporting_a_Facebook_page_to_be_deleted\"><\/span>Reporting a Facebook page to be deleted<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most important steps when you wish to report a page is making sure that it does not have spam content, derogatory content, or hate speech. Facebook has strict policies against all of these things. Basically, hate speech is anything that promotes hatred and\/or harassment against a specific group of people. It can be as simple as someone posting something about the caste system or someone impersonating a specific person or organization. If you believe that someone is engaging in this type of behavior, it is likely that the person is using a fake account, or a phony name to make sure that they get money.<\/p>\n<p>There are several reasons why a page may be deleted by Facebook. If you believe that your page is breaking their terms of service, then you must immediately report it to them. Facebook will review and investigate your request. To do this, open your Facebook app and navigate to your Page. Tap the &#8216;3-dot&#8217; menu icon located below the cover photo. Once there, select &#8216;Find Support or Report Page&#8217; and choose the reason you wish to report. Once you have completed the form, tap &#8216;Next&#8217; at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Deactivate a Facebook Page How to deactivate a Facebook page?
