How to delete your Facebook account
If you’ve finally given up on the world’s most popular social media network, it’s not too complicated to remove yourself from the service. But before you delete all of those pictures, posts, and likes, you should download your personal information from Facebook.
https://www.theverge.com/22231495/de...account-how-to Your Facebook archives contain just about all of the pertinent information related to your account, including your photos, active sessions, chat history, IP addresses, facial recognition data, and which ads you clicked, just to name a few. That’s a ton of personal information that you should probably maintain access to. To download your archive using the web: Click on the down arrow in the upper-right corner. Go to Settings & Privacy > Settings. In the left-hand column, click on Your Facebook Information. In the center, find and click on Download Your Information. You are now on the Downloads page. You can select which info you want to download (or you can just download all of it). Near the top of the page, under Select file options, there are drop-down lists that let you create a date range (which is required in order to proceed). Download your data in either HTML or JSON, and choose between high, medium, or low media quality. When you’re ready, go down to the bottom of the page and click on Request a download. You’ll get notified via email when your file is ready, and it will be available for a few days. If you’ve been waiting a while and want to know the status of your download (or want to cancel it), go back to the Downloads page and select the Available files tab. After you’ve finished downloading your archive, you can delete your account. Beware: once you delete your account, it cannot be recovered. When you are ready to delete your account, go back to the page headed “Your Facebook Information” and click on “Deactivation and Deletion.” Here, you can choose between temporarily deactivating your account or permanently deleting it. If you want to delete it, select Delete account and then click on Continue to account deletion on that page. Or click this link, which will take you to the same account deletion page. You’ll get another chance here to download your archive or choose deactivation rather than deletion. You can also move your info to another service such as Google Photos, Google Docs, Dropbox, or Koofr (a photo storage site). Once you click Delete account, your account will be marked for termination and inaccessible to others using Facebook. The company notes that it delays termination for a few days after it’s requested. If you log back in during that period, your deletion request will be canceled. So don’t sign on, or you’ll be forced to start the process over again. Certain things, like comments you’ve made on a friend’s post, may still appear even after you delete your account. Facebook also says that copies of certain items like log records will remain in its database, but it notes that those are disassociated with personal identifiers. Other things to be aware of: if you have an Oculus account, that data will also be deleted, as will any Facebook Pages you administer. If you’re really serious about quitting Facebook, remember that the company owns several other popular services as well, like Instagram and WhatsApp, so you should delete your accounts there, too. |

I permanently deleted my FB account 6 years ago. I was only on it for just over a year. That's all the time it took to realize what a time-waster it was.
People who don't want to sound like they're on Facebook all the time always say "Ohhh I just use it to stay in touch with family and freinds!!!" Riiiiight. Funny how all the people who wanted to get and stay in touch with me were able to do so without any help from Zuckerberg's little kingdom. |

I'm on the Book of Face. I follow a few wildlife photography groups and a couple motorcycle groups. I also Admin a Bald Eagle page with 14,000 members.
My personal page however is empty. I deleted everything and dumped 90% of my 'friends' following my divorce. |

Just wanted to jump in and thank you for the step-by-step guide on deleting a Facebook account – super helpful! Was actually contemplating deleting my Facebook account since I'm vibing more with other platforms. Loving the advantages elsewhere. Currently, I'm diving into TikTok, where I've been actively growing my account. Even decided to use tiktok automatic likes for that extra boost, and wow, the visibility is through the roof! Growing there feels so much easier than on Facebook. Thanks for the guidance on leaving the FB world!
