How do I remove myself as an admin on Facebook?

I wanted to go on an internet-less vacation and I needed to remove myself as the admin. This is how the removal procedure works; it takes about 45 seconds in total.

#1. Open the page.

Go to the Facebook page from which you wish to unfollow someone first.

#2. Open the window for admin roles.

Select Edit Page from the top panel, then use the mouse to navigate to Manage Admin Roles. Click on it.

#3. Remove yourself from the page.

On the admin page, locate yourself and click the blue X next to your photo on the left. After you hit save, you’re done.

Note that you cannot be removed from the page if you are the only admin or page manager. This makes sense because you don’t want to be permanently linked to the page, even if each page must have a personal account associated with it. If this happens to you, get in touch with someone at the company and see if you can add them as a manager instead of yourself. If necessary, you can also initiate a discussion about removing the page.

#4. Confirm that you have been removed.

Keep an eye out for an email confirmation from Facebook informing you that your admin status has been revoked. Another option is to go to Facebook, click the settings wheel in the top right corner, and make sure the problematic page is removed from the list. Now you can enjoy your vacation without those Facebook notifications.
