5 Simple Steps to Remove Facebook Marketplace

If you’re looking to declutter your Facebook experience and remove the Marketplace feature, you’re in luck. Uninstalling Facebook Marketplace is a simple process that can be completed in just a few minutes. Whether you’re tired of seeing endless listings for used furniture or you simply don’t use the Marketplace, removing it can help streamline your Facebook feed and improve your overall user experience.

To get started, log in to your Facebook account and click on the Marketplace icon in the left-hand menu. Once you’re on the Marketplace page, click on the three dots in the upper-right corner and select “Settings.” In the “General” tab, you’ll see an option to “Hide Marketplace.” Simply click on this button, and Marketplace will be removed from your Facebook account.

After you’ve hidden Marketplace, it will no longer appear in your left-hand menu or in your News Feed. However, you can still access Marketplace by going directly to the Marketplace website. If you decide to restore Marketplace in the future, simply follow the same steps and click on the “Show Marketplace” button.

Permanently Deleting Your Facebook Marketplace Account

If you’ve decided to permanently delete your Facebook Marketplace account, follow these steps:

Go to Facebook Marketplace and click on the “Settings” icon in the top right corner.
Click on “Account Settings” and then “Delete My Account.”
Enter your password and click on “Delete My Account.”

Once you delete your account, all of your Marketplace listings and activity will be permanently removed. You will not be able to recover any of your data.

If you are having trouble deleting your account, you can contact Facebook for help.

Deactivating Your Facebook Marketplace Account

If you’re not ready to permanently delete your Facebook Marketplace account, you can deactivate it instead. This will hide your account from other users and prevent you from buying or selling items. However, you will still be able to access your account and manage your listings.

To deactivate your account, follow these steps:

Go to Facebook Marketplace and click on the “Settings” icon in the top right corner.
Click on “Account Settings” and then “Deactivate My Account.”
Enter your password and click on “Deactivate My Account.”

You can reactivate your account at any time by signing back into Facebook Marketplace.

Hiding Your Facebook Marketplace Account

If you want to prevent other users from seeing your Facebook Marketplace account, you can hide it instead of deactivating or deleting it. This will allow you to keep your account active but prevent other users from finding it in search results or browsing through your listings.

To hide your account, follow these steps:


Go to Facebook Marketplace and click on the “Settings” icon in the top right corner.	Click on “Account Settings” and then “Privacy Settings.”
Under the “Who can see my Marketplace listings?” section, select “Only me.”	Click on “Save Changes.”
