You can delete a Facebook Business Portfolio in your Page settings, and it takes about two minutes
A Facebook Business Portfolio is a collection of your work samples, products, or services that appears on your business Page. If you no longer want it visible, you can remove it entirely from the Page settings — the portfolio itself disappears, but your Page remains. The steps are straightforward and you can undo the deletion within a short window if you change your mind.
Facebook does not send a notification to followers when you delete a portfolio, and the action does not affect your Page's other content like posts, reviews, or basic information. If you want to keep the portfolio but just hide it temporarily, there is also an option to unpublish it instead of deleting it.
Key Takeaways
- Delete a portfolio by opening your Page, going to Settings, selecting Portfolios, and clicking Delete next to the portfolio name.
- Deleting a portfolio removes it from your Page immediately, but you can restore it within 30 days if you change your mind.
- Unpublishing a portfolio hides it from visitors without permanently removing it, which is useful if you might want it back later.
- Your Page itself, posts, and other content remain unchanged when you delete a portfolio.
Steps to delete a portfolio from your Page
Start by opening your Facebook Page in a web browser (the mobile app works too, but the desktop version is clearer). Click the Settings icon at the top right of your Page header — it looks like a gear or three horizontal lines depending on your browser. From the menu that appears, select Settings and Privacy, then Settings.
In the left sidebar, scroll down and click Portfolios. You will see a list of any portfolios you have created. Find the one you want to remove and click the three dots (menu icon) next to it, then select Delete. Facebook will ask you to confirm — click Delete again. The portfolio is now gone from your Page.
The entire process takes less than two minutes. Your Page will refresh and the portfolio section will no longer appear to visitors.
What happens when you delete a portfolio
When you delete a portfolio, all the images, descriptions, and links within it are removed from your Page. Visitors who previously saw the portfolio will no longer find it. However, this action does not delete your Page itself, change your Page name, remove your posts, or affect your reviews or ratings.
If you have shared a link to the portfolio on your Page or elsewhere, that link will break once the portfolio is deleted. Any comments or reactions people left on the portfolio will also disappear.
How to restore a deleted portfolio within 30 days
Facebook keeps deleted portfolios in a recovery state for 30 days. To restore one, go back to Settings > Portfolios and look for a Restore option next to the deleted portfolio name. Click it and the portfolio will reappear on your Page with all its original content intact.
After 30 days, the portfolio is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. If you need it back after that point, you would have to recreate it from scratch by uploading images and writing descriptions again.
Unpublishing instead of deleting if you might want it back
If you are unsure whether you want the portfolio gone for good, unpublishing is a safer option. Unpublishing hides the portfolio from your Page without deleting it — you keep all the content, and you can republish it anytime without losing anything.
To unpublish, go to Settings > Portfolios, click the three dots next to the portfolio, and select Unpublish instead of Delete. The portfolio will no longer show on your Page, but it stays in your settings where you can turn it back on whenever you choose.
Reasons to delete or hide a portfolio
Businesses delete portfolios for different reasons. You might be updating your services and want to remove outdated work samples. You could be rebranding and prefer a fresh start without old projects visible. Or you may have created a portfolio by accident and never intended to use it.
Some businesses unpublish portfolios seasonally — for example, a contractor might hide a portfolio of winter services during summer months and republish it when the season returns. Others delete portfolios when they close a product line or stop offering a particular service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does deleting a portfolio notify my followers?
No. Facebook does not send notifications when you delete a portfolio. Your followers will simply notice it is no longer on your Page if they visit, but they will not receive an alert about the change.
Can I delete just one image from a portfolio instead of the whole thing?
Yes. Go to Settings > Portfolios, click on the portfolio name to open it, find the image you want to remove, and click the delete icon next to it. This removes that single image without affecting the rest of the portfolio.
What if I deleted a portfolio more than 30 days ago?
Once 30 days have passed, the portfolio is permanently deleted and cannot be restored. You would need to create a new portfolio and re-upload all the images and information. Keep this in mind before deleting a portfolio you spent time building.
Will deleting a portfolio affect my Page's search ranking or visibility?
Deleting a portfolio does not harm your Page's visibility in Facebook search or Google search. Your Page will continue to appear based on your Page name, posts, and other content. The portfolio is just one section of your Page.
Can I delete a portfolio from the mobile app?
Yes, the process is the same on mobile. Open your Page, tap the menu icon, go to Settings, find Portfolios, and tap the three dots next to the portfolio you want to delete. The mobile interface is slightly different but the steps are identical.
