Quitting Facebook? Delete, Don’t Just
De-Activate Your Account
• You can easily deactivate your account in Facebook from the
Settings page. But deactivation will retain all your profile
information within Facebook, including pictures, friends, etc. If you
want to permanently delete your Facebook account, click here to
submit a deletion request. Note that:
• There is an unspecified delay between submitting your delete
request and actual deletion.
• If you login to Facebook, your deletion request is automatically
cancelled.
• There doesn’t seem to be any way to confirm that your request was
completed.
• Even after permanent deletion, Facebook says that copies of your
photos may remain on their servers for technical reasons.
