How to Remove Yourself as an Admin from a Facebook Page

Facebook pages can have entire teams of people who help manage and maintain them. Usually, each person has their own role, such as admin, editor, or moderator, that determines what access they have to the page.

Facebook users who have been assigned a role for a Facebook page can remove themselves from the page if they please. The only exception to this, is if they’re the only admin left on the page.

Removing Yourself From a Facebook Page When you’re the Only Admin

As we mentioned earlier, you can’t remove yourself from a Facebook page if you’re the only administrator of it.

If you still want to distance yourself from the page, then there are two options you can consider:

• Finding someone else to maintain the page, making them an admin, and then removing yourself from it.
• Deleting the page instead.

If you elect to delete the page, you’ll have 14 days to reverse your decision. You can also look at unpublishing the page if you’re not sure you want to delete it.
