subject: How To Delete My Facebook Account Forever? - Fantastic Info On How To Delete A Facebook Account [print this page] Facebook is the biggest social networking website in the world with over 500 million active users. However, some aspects of its functionality are not to everyone's liking, and so you may find yourself wondering, 'How do I delete my Facebook account?'. If this sounds like you, then read on for information about deleting your Facebook account.
Deactivate Your Account
But before we start - were you aware that you don't necessarily have to erase your account on Facebook forever? If you are the kind of person who may want to return to Facebook at a later date, then perhaps you should consider deactivating your account rather than deleting it completely. By deactivating your account, no one will be able to see you on Facebook, but all of your account information and settings will be retained for if you want to come back to them sometime.
To deactivate your account, go to 'Accounts', 'Account Settings' and then click on 'Deactivate account'.
If you want to reactivate your Facebook in the future, then all of your information will still be there. To reactivate it, all you have to do is just sign in to Facebook again using your old email and password.
Delete Your Account
Once you have made up your mind to delete your Facebook account permanently, then keep in mind that you will loose all of the information attached to the account. This includes all of the information to do with your friend connections and all of your photographs. There is no going back from this!
If you are fine with losing this information, then you must submit a form to Facebook asking that your account be deleted. This form is found in the Facebook help centre.
Following this, Facebook will delete your account forever.
