    How do I delete my Facebook account?

    By admin | April 14, 2008

    You can do 3 things with your Facebook account. Deactivate it, delete it and all content and/or ensure that it is permanently removed from the Facebook servers for good. This article will show you how to do all of this.

    1. Deactivate Your Facebook Account

    This takes the shortest amount of time but does not actually delete your account. It deactivates it and hangs around until you have a sudden drop in will power and login again. It then reactivates your account with all your information, photos, messages and comments intact. If you want to be a sucker and follow this route, here are the steps you need to follow:

    a. Login to your Facebook account and then click on account on the top right hand corner of the page.

    b. When the new page appears, leave it on the Settings tab and scroll to the bottom. Click on the deactivate link.

    c. You will be asked to confirm the deactivation and asked to give a reason why. Choose whatever you feel like and hit the Deactivate button.

    d. You will be shown this message. And that’s it.

    2. Delete Your Facebook Account

    a. Make sure you have the email address of all your friends if you want to continue email contact with them. You need to stop using the Facebook messages. Ensure they have your email address too.

    b. Delete ALL sent and received messages.

    c. Remove ALL of your friends from your friends list.

    d. Delete ALL comments/posts on all of your walls (SuperWall, FunWall, The Wall, etc).

    e. Delete ALL Comments and Posts you’ve made on other peoples Walls.

    f. Delete ALL your photos – this includes all profile photos and those in your albums.

    g. Leave ALL your networks and groups.

    h. If you administer any groups, transfer the admin rights to someone else.

    i. Clear every last bit of information from your profile.

    j. Deactivate your account as per the above.

    3. Permanently Delete ALL account information from Facebook Servers

    You can request Facebook to have your information completely wiped from their servers.

    They stress that you need to remove all profile content before they can do this. Follow steps a. to i. above but do not deactivate yet. Facebook may come back to you saying there is still content for you to delete. If there is and you have already deactivated, you will need to go through the reactivation process to follow their demands.

    Once you have cleared your account, let them know and they’ll take care of the rest. To let them know follow these steps:

    a. Login to your account, scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on the Help link.

    b. On the page that shows up, Click on Privacy and Security.

    c. Then click on Privacy

    d. A list of questions will appear. Scroll all the way to the bottom. The 2nd last entry will be ‘I want to permanently delete my account’. Click on it.

    e. A bunch of words worth nothing to you will come up. Towards the end of the 2nd paragraph, click on the link ‘this form’.

    f. You will be presented with the below. Tick the box Remove my account from Facebook and click on the Submit button.

    g. You will then get an email letting you know that the Facebook team will get back to you. They should get back to you within a week. Once they confirm that your account is deleted, try logging in to Facebook again. You will know that it is permanently deleted if you don’t get asked to reactivate your account.

    Voila! Congratulations for getting your life back!!

All of which means there’s an awful of digital debris floating in cyberspace (kind of like all the space debris floating in orbit around Earth). If you’ve ever tried to clean up this debris by deleting online accounts, it’s either difficult to do or impossible. Look how difficult, for example, Facebook makes it for you to delete an account.

      After 8 months of unsolicited spam and other shite from so-called friends…it was getting bizarre and I decided to kill FB account. It was tragicomic receiving emails from those same “friends” asking why am I getting off after I let them know of my intentions. :)
      In any case…thanks for giving us this neat little run-down on getting rid of that pest.

      If I do all the things you said, will it delete, for example, my status comments, or posted items comments? I had myspace too, deleted it some time ago and they actually deleted everything I ever wrote, photo comments and profile comments, all of it! It would be great if facebook did the same thing, but I have a feeling they don’t delete everything…

      [...] If you’ve been reading this blog you already know that I hate FACEBOOK.  It’s not the social networking part I dislike.  As a matter of fact, I think it’s kinda’ cool to connect with family & friends online.  Millions are doing it, but at what cost?  Check out the news article below.  If you’ve already joined & want to delete your account… pray.  After reading the news today, I wonder if my fictitious profile will ever be erased.   It’s a time-consuming endeavor if you’ve posted any pictures, comments, or anyone has posted comments on your wall. I know from experience, now.  It’s a real pain.   If you do decide to attempt a leave at Facebook, you can try this:  http://antisocial.nectareen.com/how-do-i-delete-my-facebook-account/ [...]

      Hi, I’ve just read the news about, that in Terms and Conditions in facebook was changed in order to let us know that all the information about your profile is going to be as their own property :O! yes that’s right, 2 days after, Mark gave an apology and the terms were fixed.

      So i was thinking that it must be a site to keep us warned about all this “new-age-data-stealing”, started all by google. I’ve found some interesting info about that, and I can share it with you.

My email inbox is daily flooded with messages from facebook telling me that people have put pictures of me on their pages, and it gives me a link to the image, but when I follow it it tells me that to see it i need a account.

      I still don’t understand why I can’t remove the pictures without having to jump throgh hoops.

      Thanks for this! The not-so-subtle issue is ownership. It is Facebook’s website, not yours. It is not your profile, it is Facebook’s profile about you. You only have very limited ability to contribute and only at Facebook’s pleasure. Facebook has absolute control and therefore practical ownership of everything on Facebook, including your identity, associations and relationships. Facebook is not your friend. As a structure for social interaction privately owned social networking is worse than medaeval. Our civil rights and liberties on Facebook are zero. Shut your Facebook!

      have “stupid” question..if you delete your facebook account, do your pictures automatically disappear from your friends and family account??????
      once I deleted my account, and came back after 5 months..now I can not find my photos on my family members accounts….weird…

      i agree with karsz, im really happy that im not the only one that wants to delete the FB account, the only thing i have to do is get the courage to do what i’ve been thinking of doing for such a long time. i got it because its the only way to keep in touch with some of my friends who ONLY use FB but it takes up too much of my time and i already have too many things to do. i think i should delete it soon :S

      I never received a confirmation email. could it be because I have opted out of receiving emails from facebook, or do they send it anyway since its a deletion. In which case my account will not be deleted after all.

      I just deleted, or temporarily deleted, my facebook account but still sit on the fence as to whether it was the right thing to do or not. On the one hand, I see FB as an invasion of privacy and get this creepy feeling that I am being judged all the time by other people on the site. On the other hand, I have friends that use FB as their main way to get in touch and make plans. Sometimes, I wish the whole thing never existed in the first place.

      I got on facebook because I thought I would find friends, I found old high school enemies with sly, candy coated words, got hooked into drama, and lost my confidence. I am so happy I am done now. They will just have to find some other person to play with. I even have the ones I thought I could trust sending me attachments that they used on facebook, but I have email control, DELETE do not open. Freedom!

      Marvelous! I also found Facebook to be a nightmare. It seems permeated with illiterate, odd people. People who don’t seem to respect other people’s feelings or their privacy. I was honestly shocked that strangers would post some of the revealing and odd photos to “other strangers” and think nothing of it. Helloh, the world is filled with criminals who want to hurt others, did they not get “that memo”. Anyway, I too, am glad to be off of it. I didn’t give it too much of my time. Figured it out for what it was rather quickly. I don’t think it’s antisocial to want to be off facebook. I think it’s “sane” and “logical” and incredibly “smart”.

      Thanks for the info on how to delete my FB account. I thought it would ge a good thing at first to sign up and find old/new friends. Now I am wanting to just get rid of the whole thing. I have ex boyfriends that think it’s fun to post comments about me and I also don’t like the phone number requests and other flirting that goes on. I have learned that FB will cause problems in your real realtionships. My boyfriend does not have a FB account but saw mine and got really pissed about all the crap people put on there. It was good to find some old friends but i think i got all I needed out of FB. Adios FB!

      I never even registered for Facebook!! And no one ever seemed to think it was weird that somehow an account appeared for me. I know they stole my inofrmation from LinkedIn because it was using my work email.

      I set up LinkedIn to keep up with the job market in my profession and that’s it. I would never register for FB and if I did I would not use my freakin’ work email! Criminals. I hope this delete works.

      facebook has been a nightmare for me since i was introduced last year or maybe it’s been two, I can’t remember. All I do is listen to others people put others down. I just hate it. So please take me off here for good.

      Hi:

      I was in the process of deleting my fb account, and I wanted to know whether I need to delete my posts from other people’s walls too. Because that might take quite a bit of effort, scrolling through all the pictures and status updates and the mile long comments on one post. Thanks!

      Hello there,
      I’m interested in stripping my profile completely down and deleting everything except for my email address and phone number for only my existing friends to see in order to contact me if they need.
      I guess i will just follow the instructions 2. Delete Your Facebook Account except for the very last step..
      Was just wondering if there are any quicker ways to delete all of these details especially comments etc, without having to do it all manually as that seems very time-consuming and almost impossible (how do i even find all of the comments that i have made in the past?!)
      If anyone has any advice on how to do this please please email me on amelia_bo@hotmail.com
      thanks :)

      Thanks. Did it as you recommended. Only problem is.. it doesn’t quite happen.
      Deleted every single reference last March & had confirmation from friends (real ones) via email no sign of me left.
      Then 3 months later I get a email, purportedly from a friend, to go look at some of his pictures, along with a link to reconnect to fb. Also in the email are pictures of half a dozen previous fb contacts. This friend later told me he didn’t send that email.
      In other words, Facebook lies. They do keep your stuff in their database.

      Omg I am so happy! I absolutely hate fb and was so skeptical of getting it in the first place back in 2008. Deactivating isnt enough, the temptation is always there and they make it soo easy to get back on. All there is on fb is nosey people reading your conversations and reading your every move, I cand stand it. Hope these steps work in abling to officially deleting my account in the near future…

      Hello. I understand that you get a confirmation email when you request the permanent deletion of your Facebook account. However, do you get an email after 14 days confirming that the account has been deleted?

      Uhm…don’t they still hold your information in their system, even if you “permanently” delete you profile? I believe they still have all of the information (since they OWN it once you agree to terms & conditions) compiled somewhere, if I am not mistaken. The government can obtain search warrants on a user’s profile,without that user even knowing about it. They can see all of the information from your past.

      For anyonewho wants a ghost facebook account with REAL privacy, just to surf to pages where you NEED to login. Do this: Install TOR (just google it) then create an email account throug TOR (not with your real IP adres) With this email create a facebook account and only use your facebook account and mail adres while using TOR, don’t make friends. You won’t get spam, anything in your mailbox, you’ll be totaly alone on Facebook wich feels good. FF4EVER

      By the way, for all you people who think you can delete a facebook account sorry to say your account wont be deleted, all accounts on the facebook servers are backed-up hourly. Facebook will do with your virual private data as they please.
