I see that we can only delete the ad image at ad library. Its hard to restrict it from site competitors unless we restrict the audience for only few region.

Meta’s Ad Library can’t be bypassed, so the only workaround is limiting identifiable details in creatives and rotating campaigns frequently.

Currently, Meta does not allow you to completely hide your ad campaigns from the Ad Library. However, there are some measures you can consider to reduce your competitors' exposure to your ads. Try using different messages and images for your ads to reduce your competitors' visibility. If possible, use multiple ad accounts to spread out your campaign information.

As far as I know, Meta’s Ad Library is designed to be transparent, so all running campaigns are visible by default. There isn’t really a direct way to hide ads completely from it. The best approach is usually focusing on creative strategy and targeting so competitors seeing your ads doesn’t impact your performance.

The only thing advertisers can usually do is focus on creative rotation, audience strategies, or changing angles so competitors can’t easily replicate

Meta Ad Library transparency can’t be bypassed for active ads. To reduce visibility, use multiple ad accounts, geo-target obscure regions, or split creatives. Focus on cloaking landing pages if privacy is essential.

To hide (pause) an ad campaign on Facebook, go to Ads Manager, select the campaign you want to hide, then click the on/off button to switch to "Off" status

Meta Ad Library is designed to keep ads transparent, so there's no official way to completely hide them.

It is not possible to hide ads on Ad Library because Meta requires transparency, you can only focus on content creation and strategy optimization to reduce the risk of being copied.

We often handle this with indirect solutions such as:
Running multiple accounts/BM for hire to disperse the campaign, reducing the possibility of competitors identifying.
Separating domains/landing pages by product group or campaign.
Adjusting creative & targeting to avoid being exposed to the main formula.

Unfortunately, Meta’s Ad Library is designed for full transparency
there’s no official way to completely hide active ad campaigns. However, here are a few workarounds to reduce exposure:
Use alternative branded pages or sub-brands to split campaigns.
This makes it harder for competitors to track everything.
Exclude competitor regions or IPs from ad targeting (if you can identify them).
All ads show in the Ad Library, but using dark posts (unpublished posts) avoids cluttering your page feed.
Change creatives often so by the time competitors notice, the ad is already rotated.
It won’t fully hide the ads, but it can make tracking more difficult.
