Here are some steps to take to unpublish your Facebook page on your desktop: 

• Log in to your Facebook account on the website.

On mobile device

If you intend to unpublish your page on your mobile device, please follow the steps below:

• Open the app. 
• Choose "Pages."
• Select the page you intend to unpublish. 
• Choose "Settings" in the upper right corner. 
• Tap "General" and scroll down to find "Page Visibility."
• Choose "Unpublish." Then, a blue check will show up, which means your page is now invisible to other Facebook users. 

 

Does Deactivating Facebook Delete Pages? 

No. Deactivating or unpublishing your Facebook page doesn't delete it. In fact, unpublishing will make your page invisible on this platform, but you and other administrators can still access it. 

However, if you are the only administrator, deactivating your account means you can't access your page. The only solution is to reactivate your account. 

So, the difference between deleting and unpublishing a Facebook page is that deleting is a permanent action. In this manner, you remove your page entirely. You will lose all the posts, photos, videos, and even followers. What's more, you can't restore it. 

On the other hand, unpublishing is a temporary action. You are just hiding your Facebook page and can bring it back any time.  

As a result, if you don't plan to use the page anymore, delete it to clean up your social media account. And if you just want your page to stop working for a while, deactivate it.

 

How To Get Your Facebook Page Back? 

We have mentioned that your Facebook page turns into a deletion period when you try to delete it. Within 14 days of you performing the steps above, you can bring it back. 

Here is how to cancel your deletion:

• Access the Facebook page that is going to disappear. 
• Tap on "Page Settings" in the bottom left corner. 
• A screen will show up. You just need to choose "Cancel Deletion" at the top. 
• Click "Confirm," then "OK."

Conclusion

You can easily delete your Facebook page in easy steps. If you regret it, Facebook allows you to bring your page within 14 days. 

Besides, you can choose to unpublish your Facebook page for a short period. Then, publish it when you are ready.
