Facebook is a social network site highly popular with the number of active users numbering well beyond the one billion mark. May be you too are a Facebook user with many friends staying in touch with you. It is possible that you may – for certain reasons - wish to cease all your activities in Facebook and discontinue using it any more. You also want your account to be closed and deleted from Facebook.
Facebook Deletion
A word of caution here. Once you delete your Facebook account, it is deleted for ever….permanently, and no amount of efforts will bring it back. Once the account is deleted, you will neither be able to reactivate it nor can you retrieve anything that you added here. It is therefore essential that you seek deletion of your account only when you are absolutely sure of it. It may be mentioned in this connection that deletion of an account should not be confused with deactivation of account. Deactivation means putting the account on hiatus which could be activated anytime you want, while deletion would amount to getting the entire set of data permanently erased with no option of reviving it in future available to the user.

You may however need copies of your information (which you can download) before finally deleting the account. The downloading of your information can be made as indicated below –
  • Click at the top right corner of Facebook and click ‘Settings’
  • Here at the bottom of  General Account Settings, you get  ‘Download a copy of your Facebook data’
  • Click it to download
  • Click on ‘Start My Archive’
The deletion process will comprise of several phases. In the first phase, the account will be deactivated for 15 days, while in the second phase, it will be permanently deleted. During the first phase, please ensure that you do not log in the account or use it in any manner, whatsoever. Once that is done, your deletion request will be automatically cancelled.

The steps for deletion of an account are as follows –
> Log in to Facebook
> Download and save any data you want to retain – as per the steps enumerated above
> Clear your Facebook history, if you so wish
> Visit the ‘Delete Account Page’ through search In the Facebook Help page
> Click on ‘Delete my Account’ button’ to initiate the process
> Enter your password and the relevant CAPTCHA in the pop-up window that will appear
> Enter ‘OK’ to give the green signal
The account will be initially deactivated for 15 days, and at the expiry of this period it will be deleted permanently. That ends the process.
