How to Delete a Facebook Page
Switch into a Page you control, find its status settings, save any information you need, and review permanent deletion carefully.
Switch into the Facebook Page, open Menu, Settings and privacy, Settings, and scroll to Your information. Tap Access and control, select Delete Page, and continue through the review screens. Download anything you need, then enter your Facebook password only when you are certain you want to request permanent deletion.
Before you start
You need Facebook access with full control to delete a Page. Check that you switched into the correct Page, tell any other managers, resolve active campaigns or business connections, and download information you want to keep. Deactivation and unpublishing are temporary alternatives; deletion removes Page content and messages permanently.

A couple of useful details
Can every Page manager delete a Facebook Page?
No. Facebook says deleting a Page requires Facebook access with full control. People with task access or limited control cannot delete it.
What is the difference between deactivating, unpublishing, and deleting a Page?
Deactivation disables the Page and can be reversed. Unpublishing limits the Page to its managers and can also be reversed. Deletion is the permanent option and removes the Page's content and messages.
Can I download the Page's information first?
Yes. Facebook shows a Download your information option before the final confirmation. Allow time for the download to be prepared before deleting the Page.
Why does Facebook ask for my password?
The current Android flow requires the password for the personal Facebook account that controls the Page before the deletion request can be confirmed.
