To deactivate a Facebook business page, follow these steps:
- Go to your Facebook business page: Log in to your Facebook account and navigate to the business page that you want to deactivate.
- Click on “Settings”: On the top right corner of the page, you will see a gear icon. Click on it, and then select “Settings” from the drop-down menu.
- Choose “General” tab: In the left-hand column of the Settings page, click on “General” to access the general settings for your business page.
- Scroll down and click on “Remove Page”: Under the “General” tab, scroll down until you see the “Remove Page” section. Click on the “Edit” button next to it.
- Select “Deactivate Page”: In the “Remove Page” section, you will see two options: “Delete Page” and “Deactivate Page.” Choose “Deactivate Page” to temporarily deactivate your Facebook business page.
- Confirm the deactivation: A pop-up window will appear, asking you to confirm the deactivation. Read through the information provided, and click on the “Deactivate” button to confirm.
- Complete the deactivation process: Facebook may ask you to enter your password for security purposes. Enter your password, and click on “Continue” to complete the deactivation process.
Deactivating a Facebook business page is different from deleting it. Deactivation is temporary and allows you to reactivate the page later, while deletion is permanent and irreversible. If you want to permanently delete your Facebook business page, you can choose the “Delete Page” option in step 5 and follow the on-screen instructions
