How to delete your Facebook account

 

To delete your Facebook account, follow these steps:

Important Note: Deleting your Facebook account is permanent and irreversible. Before proceeding, make sure you've backed up any important data and are certain about your decision.

1. Log in to Your Account:
• Go to the Facebook website (www.facebook.com) and log in with your credentials.
2. Access Account Settings:
• Click on the downward-facing arrow in the top-right corner of the Facebook page to open the dropdown menu.
• Select "Settings & Privacy," then choose "Settings."
3. Deactivation and Deletion:
• In the left-hand menu, click on "Your Facebook Information."
4. Delete Your Account:
• Click on "Deactivation and Deletion."
5. Delete Account:
• Choose "Delete Account" and click "Continue to Account Deletion."
6. Confirm Account Deletion:
• Read through the information provided and understand that account deletion is irreversible.
• Click "Delete Account."
7. Enter Password and Confirm:
• Enter your Facebook password to confirm your identity.
• Complete any additional security checks prompted by Facebook.
8. Final Confirmation:
• Facebook will inform you that your account will be scheduled for deletion.
• Do not log into your account during the waiting period, as doing so will cancel the deletion process.

After this process, your Facebook account will be deactivated immediately, and it will be permanently deleted after a specified period (usually 30 days). If you log in during this waiting period, the deletion process will be canceled.

It's worth noting that certain data might still be visible to others, such as messages you've sent. Also, if you've used Facebook to log in to other apps or websites, those connections may still exist even after you delete your account.

Remember to carefully consider your decision, as account deletion is permanent. If you're unsure about deleting your account, you might consider deactivating it temporarily instead
