Deleting vs. unpublishing a page

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority

Deleting a page gets rid of it for good. That’s a drastic measure, so you might want to consider unpublishing it instead. This process would hide the Facebook page from the public, making it only visible to those who manage it. It could be a great temporary solution if you think the page could be used again in the future.

By India Today Web Desk: Facebook is one of the most popular social media platforms across the world. By signing up on Facebook, you can communicate with people across the globe. You use Facebook for personal as well as for business purposes. Your Facebook profile contains your personal information whereas a Facebook Page carries information about businesses, groups, and individuals. Now, if you already have a Facebook page and you want to delete it for any reason, it's useful to know that there are various ways to do so.

You can delete Facebook pages both on a computer and on the mobile app. However, it's important to understand deleting your Facebook Page is different from deactivating your account -- once deleted, it can never be recovered. If you're sure you want to delete your FB Page you follow these steps.

But, first, make sure that you're an admin of the Page you're trying to delete. You won't see the delete option on a Facebook Page if you're not an admin.

Steps to delete Facebook Page using Android

Open Facebook app on your Android device
If you are already log-in, go to your Facebook Page
(If not then log-in by entering your user Id and password)
Now, tap the Gear icon (Settings) in the top right
From the given options tap General

Once you click delete, you'll have 14 days to restore the Page. To cancel your Page deletion, you have to visit your Page within 14 days of scheduling to delete your Page. From the settings (Gear icon) select General, scroll down tap Cancel Deletion>Confirm.

Keep in mind once your Facebook Page is deleted then nobody will be able to see or find it. You will even lose its content and data forever including Page likes, comments, interactions and reviews.

In case if you're unsure about losing all the data from your Facebook Page, then you can simply "unpublish" the Page. If you're an admin, you can unpublish your Page at any time. Unpublished Pages are only visible to the people who manage the Page. It won't be visible to the public until it's published again.
