How to remove a business portfolio from your Facebook account
To delete a business portfolio on Facebook, go to your profile, find the portfolio section, and select the option to remove it. The process takes about two minutes and permanently removes the portfolio from your profile — though Facebook may keep a record of it in your account history for a limited time. You cannot recover a deleted portfolio, so read any photos or information you want to keep first.
The exact steps depend on whether you are using Facebook on a computer or a phone, and whether the portfolio belongs to you or was created by someone else on your account. This guide covers both situations.
Key Takeaways
- A business portfolio is a section of your Facebook profile where you can display photos and descriptions of work, products, or services — it is separate from your main profile and can be deleted without affecting your account.
- You must be the owner of the portfolio or have admin access to the Facebook page it is connected to in order to delete it.
- Deleting a portfolio is permanent and cannot be undone, so save any images or text you want to keep before you start.
- The delete option appears in the portfolio settings menu, which you reach through your profile on either desktop or mobile.
Delete a business portfolio on a computer
Open Facebook in your web browser and go to your profile by clicking your name in the top left corner. Scroll down to find the section labeled "Intro" or look for any portfolio section that appears below your cover photo. If you have created a portfolio, it will show as a separate box with your business images or work samples.
Click the three dots (menu icon) in the top right corner of the portfolio box. A dropdown menu will appear with options including "Edit" and "Delete Portfolio" or "Remove." Click "Delete Portfolio." Facebook will ask you to confirm — click "Delete" again to complete the removal. The portfolio will disappear from your profile when ready.
If you do not see a portfolio section on your profile, you may not have created one yet, or it may already be deleted. Some older accounts have a "Services" section instead of a portfolio — the deletion process is the same.
Delete a business portfolio on a phone or tablet
Open the Facebook app and tap your profile icon at the bottom right. Tap your name to go to your profile. Scroll down to find the portfolio section — it will appear as a box with images and a title related to your business or work.
Tap the three dots in the top right corner of the portfolio box. Tap "Delete Portfolio" or "Remove Portfolio" from the menu that appears. Confirm the deletion by tapping "Delete" when Facebook asks you to confirm. The portfolio will be removed from your profile.
On some phones, the menu icon may appear as three horizontal lines instead of three dots. The function is the same — tap it and look for the delete or remove option.
What happens to your portfolio after deletion
Once you delete a portfolio, it is no longer visible on your profile or in search results. Other people cannot see it, and it will not appear in your profile history. However, Facebook may retain information about the portfolio in its servers for a period of time as part of its standard data retention practices — this is normal and does not make the portfolio visible to anyone.
If you have shared the portfolio link with others or posted it in comments or messages, those links will no longer work. Anyone who clicks them will see an error message. The portfolio itself cannot be recovered after deletion, so if you change your mind later, you would need to create a new one from scratch.
Save your portfolio information before deleting
Before you delete, take screenshots of each photo and any text descriptions in your portfolio. Open the portfolio, take a screenshot of each image or section, and save the files to your computer or phone. This way you will have copies of the work samples or product photos if you need them later.
If your portfolio contains many images, you can also read them directly from Facebook. Right-click each image (or long-press on a phone) and select "Save image as" to read it to your device. Write down any text descriptions or captions separately so you have a complete record.
If someone else created the portfolio on your account
If another person created a portfolio on your Facebook profile without your permission, you have the same deletion rights. Go to your profile, find the portfolio section, and follow the deletion steps above. You do not need permission from the person who created it — it is your profile, and you control what appears on it.
After you delete it, consider changing your Facebook password and reviewing your account security settings. Go to Settings and Privacy, then Settings, then Security and Login to see where your account is logged in and remove any sessions you do not recognize. This prevents someone from creating portfolios or making other changes without your knowledge in the future.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hide a portfolio instead of deleting it?
Facebook does not offer a hide option for portfolios — you can only delete them or leave them visible. If you want to keep the portfolio but do not want others to see it, you would need to delete it and create a new one later with different privacy settings, though portfolios do not have individual privacy controls separate from your profile.
What if the delete option does not appear?
The delete option only appears if you are the profile owner or have admin access to the page the portfolio is connected to. If you do not see it, you may not have permission to delete it. Try refreshing the page or logging out and back in. If the option still does not appear, the portfolio may already be deleted or you may need to contact the person who created it.
Will deleting my portfolio affect my Facebook page or business account?
No. A portfolio on your personal profile is separate from a Facebook business page. Deleting a portfolio from your profile does not change your business page, posts, or any other content. If you have a business page, it has its own separate settings and content that are not affected by changes to your personal profile.
Can I delete a portfolio if I created it for someone else?
Only the profile owner can delete a portfolio from their own profile. If you created a portfolio on someone else's profile, you cannot delete it yourself — the profile owner must do it. You can ask them to follow the deletion steps above, or you can remove your access to their profile through your settings.
