How Do I Delete a Facebook Ad?

Facebook is much more than just a popular social media site. It is also useful for spreading the word about your business or brand. Facebook, with its huge audience of followers, is the perfect choice for your marketing needs. Ads are one of the most popular ways to market a business or brand, but there are times when you might want to delete an ad. Deleting an ad can be accomplished easily by following a few simple steps. Facebook offers an Ad Center which makes it easy for Facebook users to control how they use ads for their pages. It is important to note that this decision is final. Once you delete an ad from your Facebook page, it is not possible to restore it. If you need assistance or have any questions, you can reach out to Facebook.
