Try these fixes:
- Refresh the page (Ctrl/Cmd + R) or hard refresh (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R).
- Clear all filters and try again.
- Make sure you're not inside a specific campaign view, go back to the main Campaigns/Ad sets/Ads list.
- Check your permissions - you need at least Advertiser access (Admin is best). Ask the ad account owner to grant it if needed.
- Try incognito/private/anty-detect mode or a different browser.
- Delete child objects first (e.g., delete the rejected ads inside an ad set, then the ad set, then the campaign).

I "think" because Meta keeps them for review history and compliance tracking. option now is archiving or hiding them with filters rather than fully deleting them

If it still shows contacting support is the only proper solution. You can only archive or pause them. Try filtering by status or using the archived section. Rejected campaigns usually can't be deleted because of platform audit policies.

Start with clean campaigns first to warm up your account.

I always do that but the same problems still happens, maybe this time, it's due to Facebook updates algorithm, hope it will be alright soon.
Just try create new Ad, in this AdSet. When it`s go to review - you can delete this AdSet fully. In 90% of cases this helps.

Just archive them and move on, mate. Meta doesn't let you fully delete rejected caampaigns anymore, so hiding them with filters is the easiest way to keep things clean

You cannot delete campaigns from an advertising account; campaigns can easily be restored, even if the account has been disabled.

You can only pause or archive them sadly.

Typically, rejected campaigns remain in your account history and cannot be deleted permanently. However, you may choose to archive or hide them. If you are encountering a glitch, then please try Ads Manager using another browser.

Yes, the campaign that was rejected will stay in the history and cannot be deleted forever. You can archive them to keep it organized, or you can contact the platform, support team in case you think it is a user interface issue.
