Roadmap: How to restore a deleted campaign in Meta Ads Manager
Tips 'n tricks about the web, digital trends, and online marketing
It may happen that a campaign is accidentally deleted in Meta Ads Manager. Fortunately, you don't have to rebuild it from scratch: through a few simple steps, you can recover the campaign by creating a duplicate. In this guide, you will read step by step how to reactivate a deleted campaign.
Artikel samenvatten Roadmap:
- Open Meta Ads Manager
You open Meta Ads Manager from your Facebook homepage by clicking Meta Suite in the menu and then Ads Manager. Next, make sure you are logged in with the correct ad account in which the campaign was active. - Go to the 'Campaigns' tab
Click the Campaigns tab at the top. Here you get an overview of all your campaigns: active, paused and deleted. Then use the account drop-down list at the top left to check whether you have selected the right ad account. - Filter on deleted campaigns
At the top, click Filters and choose Deleted. This will show only the campaigns that have been deleted. - Select the correct deleted campaign
Find the campaign you want to restore and tick the checkbox next to it.
Does the campaign not appear in the list? Then check the date filter set and make sure the period in which the campaign ran is included - Open the campaign settings
With the campaign selected, click Edit. A window opens with all the details: ad sets, ads, targets, etc. - Duplicate campaign
Since a deleted campaign cannot be immediately restored, click Duplicate. A copy of the campaign will then be created, including all associated ad sets and ads. - Check and adjust the copy
In the duplicated campaign window, you can go through all the settings, such as the objective, budget, targeting and creatives. Adjust them if necessary so that the campaign perfectly matches your current marketing goals. - Publish the duplicated campaign
Are you satisfied with the settings? Then click Publish. This adds the campaign as a new, active campaign in Ads Manager, preserving its original structure. - Monitor performance
After publication, keep a close eye on the results and pay attention to key metrics such as impressions, clicks, conversions and cost per result. This way, you can be sure that the repurposed campaign is performing optimally.
Conclusion
By duplicating a deleted campaign, you can quickly and efficiently perform a restore without losing the original structure. However, always check the settings and monitor performance carefully, so that the restored campaign perfectly matches your marketing goals and continues to perform optimally.

We are very happy with the website Funkhaus created for us. The design is modern and attractive, and the user-friendliness (especially for making changes and adding activities ourselves) is excellent. The service is also very pleasant: in case of questions or changes, the response is quick and helpful. In short, a fine cooperation and a result we are proud of.

In our collaboration with Funkhaus, we took care of UNICHIR vzw's website.
Funkhaus was responsible for the web strategy and design, inspired by the new UNICHIR logo. They then technically elaborated this design into the brand new website.
DSC was responsible for the fundraising strategy and content.
They provided us with a handy custom WordPress template, allowing us to easily add content on the website ourselves. The template works very easily.
The job was completed to perfection. Their approach was structured and smooth.
Funkhaus is also very accessible for additional questions and goes that extra mile for its customers.
Your project is definitely in good hands with Funkhaus!
We are satisfied with the approach, the follow-up and, of course, the final result.
Thank you, Wout and the Funkhaus team, and we look forward to seeing you on the next project.

I approached Wout as part of a website for an estate agent where Realworks needed to be built in and am very pleased with the result. Funkhous has a professional approach and fast service. Definitely highly recommended.

Are you looking for a reliable partner to increase your online visibility, are you looking for a partner to get a website built? Wout and the colleagues at Funkhaus are a fine partner to start a project. At first, they listen carefully to what we wanted as customers. Based on this, Wout makes an offer, and after approval, they get to work. During the set-up period, there is frequent contact and consultation so that everything runs smoothly and the outcome is as the customer, us, expected. Even the after-service after delivery, which is invaluable after all, is super.
A fine partner to work with, who doesn't look down on any extra effort either. All this at a fair affordable cost makes absolutely super

Funkhaus is een kleinschalige organisatie die echt het verschil maakt. Vanaf het eerste contact merk je dat ze niet alleen professioneel zijn, maar ook oprecht meedenken in het hele proces. Ze luisteren aandachtig naar je wensen, geven eerlijk advies en zoeken samen naar de beste oplossing.
Wat vooral opvalt, is hun klantgerichte aanpak: communicatie verloopt vlot, afspraken worden nagekomen en je voelt je als klant echt gehoord. De samenwerking verloopt transparant en aangenaam, waardoor het hele traject niet alleen efficiënt maar ook inspirerend aanvoelt.
Daarnaast leveren ze mooi en kwalitatief werk af, met oog voor detail en een sterke creatieve visie. Je merkt dat ze passie hebben voor wat ze doen en dat vertaalt zich duidelijk in het eindresultaat.
Kortom: een betrouwbare partner die professionaliteit combineert met een persoonlijke aanpak. Zeker een aanrader voor wie op zoek is naar een team dat meedenkt en kwaliteit levert.
