This will prevent the site from sending you any emails. You can choose how many days you want to wait before Facebook recreates your account. However, you can also opt out of receiving emails from Facebook in the future. In this article, we&#8217;ll go over the process in more detail. We&#8217;ll also show you how to remove or redirect any links to your deactivated Facebook Page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_remove_or_redirect_links_to_a_deactivated_Facebook_Page\"><\/span>How to remove or redirect links to a deactivated Facebook Page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to remove or redirect links to a temporarily-deactivated Facebook Page, this article will provide you with the steps you need to make the necessary changes. Facebook allows you to temporarily deactivate a Page for a period of fourteen days. In the fourteen-day window, Facebook will prompt you to either delete the Page permanently, or unpublish it, allowing only administrators to see its content. If you want to cancel the deletion, click Cancel Deletion, Confirm, and OK. Then follow the steps to setup Facebook integration.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have completed the redirection process, copy the original URL to your browser. You can then use that URL to redirect any remaining links to the temporarily deactivated Facebook page. If the URL is dated more than a year old, you can use the new URL in order to restore the old one. But beware that the new URL will expire, and you may encounter some issues.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_update_off-site_links_to_new_destination_URL\"><\/span>How to update off-site links to new destination URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have integrated Facebook on your website, you should follow these steps to update all off-site links to the new destination URL. First, download the &#8220;*.zip&#8221; file that contains the HTML code of your Facebook page. In addition, you must remove the old Facebook Page URL from your site. Then, follow the instructions in the corresponding section of the Facebook integration.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_opt_out_of_receiving_future_emails_from_Facebook\"><\/span>How to opt out of receiving future emails from Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you no longer wish to receive emails from Facebook, you can choose to deactivate your account. This action will deactivate any open groups on your account and will also prevent future emails from Facebook from being sent to you. Once you&#8217;ve deactivated your account, you must log back in to your Facebook account with your email address and password to confirm the change. After this, you can click the &#8220;Manage Future Activity&#8221; setting and choose whether to keep your history cleared by default or turn it off. This setting will prevent other companies from sending your information to Facebook or using it for targeted ads.<\/p>\n<p>To opt out of receiving emails from Facebook, log into your account and visit Settings &gt; Notifications. You can turn off notifications for security or password resets, and all other notifications for Facebook. Alternatively, you can turn off all emails, regardless of content or source. Simply follow the steps below and your changes will be applied immediately. Alternatively, you can also contact Facebook&#8217;s customer service and let them know that you no longer wish to receive future emails from the company.<\/p>\n<p>To opt out of receiving emails from Facebook, you can configure your email preferences. To do this, log into your Facebook account and click the downward pointing arrow in the upper right corner. This will reveal the menu options. From there, you can choose the emails you wish to receive from Facebook. You can also opt out of email alerts on LinkedIn. However, you&#8217;ll still receive notifications through the app and website.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"394\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5o9d3BGR0CY\" height=\"220\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Temporarily Deactivate My Facebook Account?
