You can delete a Facebook business portfolio in three steps from your Page settings

A business portfolio on Facebook is a section of your Page where you display photos and details of products, services, or work samples. If you no longer need it — because you've closed the business, moved to a different platform, or straightforward want to clean up your Page — you can remove it entirely. The portfolio itself deletes, but your Page stays active.

The process takes about two minutes and happens in your Page settings, not in your personal Facebook account. Once deleted, the portfolio and all its contents are gone permanently, so make sure you've saved any photos or information you want to keep elsewhere first.

Key Takeaways

  • You must be an admin or editor of the Facebook Page to delete its business portfolio.
  • Deleting the portfolio removes all photos and product information you uploaded to it, so save what you need before you start.
  • The portfolio deletion is permanent and cannot be undone through Facebook's recovery tools.
  • Your Facebook Page itself remains active after you delete the portfolio — only that section is removed.

Check your admin status before you begin

Only Page admins and editors can delete a business portfolio. If you manage the Page but don't have admin access, you'll need to ask the Page owner to give you that permission first, or to delete the portfolio themselves.

To check your role, go to your Facebook Page, click Settings in the top menu, then select Page Roles from the left sidebar. Look for your name in the list. If you see "Admin" or "Editor" next to it, you can proceed. If you see "Moderator" or "Analyst," you don't have permission to delete the portfolio.

Save your portfolio photos and information first

When you delete the portfolio, Facebook removes all the photos, descriptions, and product details you uploaded to it. There is no trash or recovery option — the content is gone. If any of those images or descriptions matter to you, read or screenshot them before you delete.

Go to your Page, find the portfolio section, and take screenshots of each product or service listing. If you have high-resolution versions of the photos stored elsewhere, you're already covered. This step takes five to ten minutes but saves you from losing work you might need later for your own records or for use on another platform.

Delete the portfolio from your Page settings

Open your Facebook Page and click Settings in the top right corner. In the left sidebar, scroll down and click Shops (this is where Facebook groups portfolio settings). You'll see a section labeled Business Portfolio or Catalog depending on your Page type and when the feature was added to your account.

Click the three dots or menu icon next to the portfolio name, then select Delete. Facebook will ask you to confirm — click Delete again. The portfolio disappears from your Page when ready, though it may take a few minutes for the change to show to people visiting your Page or seeing it in search results.

What happens to your Page after deletion

Deleting the portfolio does not affect your Page itself, your posts, your followers, or any other sections of your Page. The portfolio tab or section straightforward vanishes from view. If someone visits your Page looking for that portfolio, they won't find it, but they can still see your regular posts, reviews, and other Page information.

If you change your mind later and want a portfolio again, you can create a new one from scratch using the same Settings menu. It will be empty, so you'll need to upload photos and product information again. This is useful if you want to start fresh with different images or descriptions.

If the portfolio option doesn't appear in your settings

Some Page types and regions don't have access to the business portfolio feature. If you don't see a portfolio section in your Settings menu, Facebook may not have enabled it for your Page category or location. In that case, there's nothing to delete.

You might also be looking at an older feature called a Shop or Catalog, which works differently from a portfolio. If you're trying to delete a Shop instead, the process is similar but the menu path is Settings > Shops > select the shop > Delete Shop. The confirmation step is the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hide the portfolio instead of deleting it?

Facebook doesn't offer a hide option for portfolios. You can either keep it visible or delete it entirely. If you want to keep the content but don't want it public, deletion is your only choice on Facebook itself.

Will deleting the portfolio affect my Page's search ranking or visibility?

No. Removing a portfolio section doesn't change how Facebook's algorithm ranks your Page or whether people can find you in search. Your Page visibility depends on your posts, followers, and engagement, not on whether you have a portfolio.

What if I'm not the Page owner but I'm an admin?

You can delete the portfolio as an admin, but the Page owner may not expect it to be gone. Send them a message first to confirm they want it removed, since they may have uploaded the content themselves and want to keep it.

Can I read my portfolio before deleting it?

Facebook doesn't have a built-in read tool for portfolios. Your best option is to screenshot each product or service listing, or ask Facebook Support for a data read of your Page, though that process takes several days and includes all your Page data, not just the portfolio.
