Deleting an Ads account on Facebook can be a crucial step for businesses looking to streamline their social media strategy or cut down on unnecessary expenses. Whether you're closing a business, rebranding, or simply no longer need the account, this guide will walk you through the steps to permanently delete your Facebook Ads account efficiently and securely.

Check if you're the admin

Before you proceed with deleting an Ads account on Facebook, it's crucial to ensure that you have the necessary administrative rights. Only an admin has the authority to delete an Ads account. Follow these steps to verify your admin status:

  • Log in to your Facebook account and navigate to the Ads Manager.
  • Click on the menu icon in the top-left corner and select "Business Settings."
  • In the Business Settings, go to the "People" section.
  • Find your name in the list and check the role assigned to you. You should see "Admin" next to your name if you have admin rights.

If you are not listed as an admin, you will need to contact someone who is an admin to grant you the necessary permissions. Alternatively, you can use services like SaveMyLeads to streamline your account management and ensure all necessary integrations are correctly set up for future use.

Download your data

Download your data

Before you delete your Facebook Ads account, it's essential to download your data to ensure you have a record of all your campaigns, ad sets, and performance metrics. To start, navigate to the Facebook Ads Manager and click on the "Settings" tab. From there, find the "Download Your Information" section. Choose the data range, format, and media quality that best suits your needs, and then click "Create File." Facebook will compile your data and notify you once it's ready for download.

For those who use third-party integrations, such as SaveMyLeads, downloading your data can be even more streamlined. SaveMyLeads offers automated data synchronization between your Facebook Ads account and various CRM systems, ensuring that all your advertising metrics and customer information are continuously updated and backed up. By integrating SaveMyLeads, you can effortlessly maintain a comprehensive archive of your Facebook Ads data, making the transition smoother when you decide to delete your account.

Disable ads

Disable ads

Disabling ads on Facebook can be a straightforward process if you follow the correct steps. This feature is particularly useful if you want to temporarily pause your advertising activities without deleting your ads account entirely. Here’s how you can disable ads on Facebook:

  1. Log in to your Facebook account and navigate to the Ads Manager.
  2. Select the ad campaign you wish to disable.
  3. Click on the campaign, ad set, or ad you want to turn off.
  4. Toggle the switch next to the campaign, ad set, or ad to turn it off.

Once you've disabled your ads, they will no longer be shown to your target audience, and you won't incur any additional advertising costs. If you need to manage multiple accounts or automate this process, consider using integration services like SaveMyLeads. This platform allows you to streamline your advertising tasks by connecting your Facebook Ads account with various other services, ensuring you save time and maintain efficiency.
