How do I delete my old disabled Facebook ads account?
Asked 5 years ago
I have been trying to create a new Facebook ads account for my new Shopify store, but Facebook will not let me create an account because my old account is still present, even though it has been disabled.
How do I completely delete a Facebook ads account?

There is a simple set of instructions on the Facebook page for business accounts. It is clearly mentioned here what a user should do in order to delete an old Ads account that has been disabled.
It should be said here that a disabled account cannot be activated again. That is why the best idea is to delete it. So go to the business account where you have admin access. On AdsManager, any outstanding balance of the account has to be cleared first. After this, the option of “Deactivate Account” will be mentioned. Here, you may have to provide a reason as to why you are closing the account. After confirmation, you have successfully closed your Facebook ads account.
