Deactivating Your Account
When you deactivate your Facebook account, it becomes invisible-- not just to other people, but to you, as well. Once your account is deactivated, you will no longer be able to access your or your friends' images, notes, messages, and other information.
To Deactivate Your Account
In the top right corner of the page, click the drop-down arrow and select Account Settings.
On the left sidebar of the Account Settings page, click the Security tab.
Click Deactivate your account .
Select the reason for leaving that best applies to you. If you want, you can explain further in the text box
Click the Email opt out option if you do not wish to receive emails from Facebook. Opting out from emails means that you will not receive any notifications, including invitations to events.
Click Confirm.
Facebook will ask you to enter your password. Type in your password and click Deactivate Now.
Finally, Facebook will ask you to do a quick Security Check. Type the text you see in the image, then clickSubmit. If you are having trouble reading the text, click Try another text to see a different word or click an audio captcha to hear the letters, instead.
That's it. Your account is now deactivated. Of course, Facebook doesn't want to see you go, so you have the option to reactivate your account at any time using the same account information.
Deleting Your Account
Deactivating your account does not fully delete it. When you deactivate, Facebook saves all of your settings just in case you decide to reactivate your account. Your information isn't gone; it's just hidden. However, it is possible to permanently delete your account with no option for recovery
- To delete your Facebook account, follow this link to the Delete Account page, and click Submit.
