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.
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.

Our old website has been given a complete makeover. Online ordering was made possible with customisation, a clear layout was proposed with plenty of space for photos and texts. I am very proud of the end result. But also very satisfied with the service and way of working.

Fantastic website builder with a lot of experience! It was very smooth cooperation and you can't ask anything too much of Wout to get everything to your liking. Highly recommended!
Kurt Habraken
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
