Facebook Lite is a stripped-down version of the Facebook app designed for areas with slow internet connections or limited data plans. While Facebook Lite offers limited functionality compared to the full Facebook app, it enables you to access your News Feed, post status updates, add friends, and more.
If you no longer need your Facebook Lite page, you can delete it completely from your Android device. Here’s how.
Open the Facebook Lite App
First, launch the Facebook Lite app on your Android device. You’ll need to open the app to delete your Facebook Lite page.
Navigate to Your Facebook Lite Page
From your News Feed in the Facebook Lite app, tap the Menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner. This will open the side menu.
Next, tap on “Pages” from the side menu options. This will take you to a page showing all the Facebook Lite pages that you manage.
Tap on Your Page Name
On the Pages screen, find the Facebook Lite page that you want to delete. Tap on the name of that page to go to its page profile.
For example, if you want to delete your Facebook Lite page called “My Business,” tap on “My Business” to open that page.
Tap on Settings
With your Facebook Lite page open, tap on the three-dot Settings icon in the top-right corner.
This will open a menu with options for your page.
Select “Delete Page”
In the menu that opens, tap on “Delete Page.” This option is at the very bottom of the menu.
Tap on “Delete Page” to initiate deleting your Facebook Lite page.
Confirm Page Deletion
After tapping “Delete Page,” a pop-up will appear asking you to confirm that you want to delete your page.
Tap on “Delete” in this pop-up window to confirm that you want to permanently delete the page.
Enter Your Password
After confirming the page deletion, you’ll be asked to enter your Facebook password. This provides final authorization to delete the page.
Enter your current Facebook password and tap “Continue.”
Your Page is Now Deleted
Once you’ve entered your password, your Facebook Lite page will be permanently deleted. You’ll be returned to your News Feed in the Facebook Lite app.
You can repeat these steps to delete any other Facebook Lite pages you manage from your Android device.
Important Notes About Deleting Facebook Lite Pages
Here are some key points to keep in mind when deleting a Facebook Lite page:
- Deleting a page is permanent – you can’t undo it once the page is deleted.
- It can take up to 90 days for a deleted page to be removed from Facebook’s servers.
- You’ll have to go through the same confirmation process if you want to delete another page.
- Other admins of the page will lose access once you delete it.

Deleting a Facebook Lite page has the following effects:

In summary, everything associated with that Facebook Lite page is deleted and cannot be recovered once you confirm the page removal.
Reasons You May Want to Delete a Facebook Lite Page

Considerations Before Deleting a Facebook Lite Page
