If you’re like most people, Facebook is a vital part of your social life. It’s where you keep track of your friends and family, and it’s also where you post updates about your day-to-day life. But if you want to delete Facebook pages without waiting 14 days, there are a few steps you can take. First, open Facebook and sign in. Then click on the three lines in the top left corner of the main screen (the one that looks like a shield). On the left side of this screen, you’ll see a list of options. The first option is called “Delete Page.” Click on it to select it. Next, click on the three lines in the top right corner of the main screen (the one that looks like a shield). On the left side of this screen, you’ll see a list of options. The first option is called “Delete Page.” Click on it to select it. If everything goes according to plan, Facebook will ask for your confirmation before deleting your page. If not, check back later and try again. Once Facebook deletes your page, be sure to log out of Facebook and then back in so that your account remains active!

Because now a business was directly responsible for it’s Facebook content; not some third-party scheduling service.
With this change came another change that went more under the radar: If you delete a business or fan page, you are forced to wait 14 days .
You read that right, in order to completely remove your presence on Facebook you have wait a minimum of two weeks before anyone will see your content/page go down. In fact, even after those two weeks pass, it might take another day(s) for everything to fully disappear from search and people’s timelines. What happens if I try to delete my Facebook page earlier? (Hint: It doesn’t work) During the previous update (mentioned above), many businesses jumped at the opportunity to remove their presence from Facebook. After all, they could just switch the “Page Type” from “Fan Page” to “Company Page”, be done with it and activate a new page under the same name; right
