Is it bad to delete and repost on Facebook?
No. Deleting a post shouldn’t affect your reach overall. It may temporarily if the post was something your fans saw value in and it causes them to be turned off by your Page because the topics you post about aren’t what they are interested in. Deleting a post also does not increase circulation of your other posts.
When someone hits the Facebook Share button, they can publish a post that they’re interested in on their own wall, without having to copy and paste a link onto their Facebook profile. The Share button is one of the three engagement options that Facebook gives users to allow them to connect with people online.
How do you repost something on Facebook without losing likes and comments?
When you use the “Share” feature on a friend’s post, you will essentially be making a new post without any of the likes and comments. If you want to preserve the likes and comments on a post, liking it or commenting on it yourself will bump it to the top of your friends’ feeds.
While some people reacted in pure disgust at the very thought of someone liking their own post, others say it’s perfectly acceptable. What do you think? The consensus around here is that it’s unnecessary; obviously you “like” what you posted or else you wouldn’t have posted it in the first place.

A key advantage, and that which separates it from a more generic “email to a friend” button, is the Send button’s tie-in to the Facebook social graph. Rather than share with everyone — as is the case with the Like button — users can choose a select group of friends they know who would have particular interest.
Only the people who could see those posts when you first made them are able to see them when someone taps Share. … Note: When a friend shares a link that you posted, they can share the link with a wider audience than you originally shared it with.
