Whether you are leaving a role or simply clearing your online presence, removing yourself as an admin is a straightforward process. This guide will show you exactly how you can do it, whether you are using the new Facebook page experience or the classic style.

Remove Yourself from a Facebook Page When You're the Only Admin

You cannot remove yourself from a Facebook page if you are the only one running a Facebook page. If you still wish to detach yourself from the page, you have two things to consider:

  1. Find someone else to manage the page, make them an administrator, and then remove yourself from it.
  2. Or you can simply delete the page instead to remove yourself as an administrator of the Facebook page.

If you choose to delete the page, you have 14 days to change your decision. If you are unsure whether or not to delete the page, you might consider unpublishing it. And, removing your information from Facebook and other platforms is a good first step towards online privacy. 

But the stakes are high when it comes to securing your online data and private information. From data harvesters to malicious actors and government surveillance agencies, anyone can use your data and sell it to the highest bidders. This is the reason you should consider using an online privacy app.
