If your client was logging into a Business Account…and clicked “Create a Profile” in the blue navigation bar at the top of their Facebook screen…they converted their Business Account into a Personal Account and this CANNOT be undone! If they do not want their Personal Account, they will need to deactivate it and/or ask Facebook to delete it.

Hi Nona – To my knowledge, there is no way to remove a fan page unless you are an admin of it OR unless you are successful in contacting Facebook. I know of several folks who have done the same thing as you and none of them have been able to contact Facebook. I wish I had a better answer for you! – Kimberly

Hi Jon – You can delete any admin you want as long as you ALWAYS HAVE AT LEAST ONE ADMIN for a business fan page. Make sure your “old profile” name/photo displays as an admin AND that you can log in and manage the fan page under the old profile BEFORE you delete the “new” profile. – Kimberly

Hi Steve – No, someone does not need to be a Facebook friend in order for you to make them a business fan page admin. But, if they aren’t a friend, you do need to know their Facebook login email address. Make sure you see their photo/name displayed as a new admin BEFORE you remove yourself as an admin! – Kimberly

HI, Accidentally I deleted myself as admin of my fanpage. There is now admin now I made new page but the old one is still active. How can I remove the old fanpage? Thanks for reply.

Hi Kim,

Thanks for all the great info. I tried to “Add Aministrators” to a company fan page, so it’s no longer linked to my personal page. But is appears as though they need to be my “friend” before I can add them as an Admin.

Is this true?

Thanks,

_Steve

I CREATED A PAGE UNDER A NEW PROFILE. I MADE MYSELF AN ADMIN UNDER AN OLD PROFILE. CAN I DELETE THE NEW PROFILE AND STILL HAVE ACCESS AND BE AN ADMIN UNDER THE OLD PROFILE.

Hi Cyril – It sounds like your “our business” page is really a personal profile. If that is the case, log in to Facebook, click on Account, then click on Account Settings. Now click on the “Change ” link for the Name field. Change the name of the personal profile from “our business” to an individual’s name. According to Facebook’s terms & conditions, a personal profile is always supposed to be in the name of an individual and each individual should only have one Facebook account. Can you change the name of the personal profile to your name or perhaps the owner of the company? – Kimberly

P.S.- If you want assistance transferring ownership of the fan page to the business…versus a personal profile…I can provide consulting for you.

Hi Mac – There is no current solution for regaining access to a fan page once the last admin has been deleted. Sorry for the bad news! – Kimberly
