I have a page on Facebook, how can I delete my personal profile?


I would like to turn off my personal Facebook account. I only use it to chat with a friend but I can contact him over other platforms. However, I manage a few pages on Facebook (business and hobbies) that I can't abandon, unfortunately. What's the best course of action I can take?

I've been thinking in creating a different profile, set that profile as admin of the pages, and then delete my account. Would that be a bad or good idea? I am not sure if it goes against Facebook TOS and I would be in a big problem if I lose any of the pages I am an admin.

Facebook requires you to have max. one profile using your real name and contact details. You won't gain anything by making a new one, and you might actually find it impossible to do (they recently upgraded their multi-account/fake ID detection). Even if you succeed, you'll risk losing access any day.
