In this post, we will explain how to delete a Facebook account permanently or how to Deactivate a Facebook account for over a period of time.

How you can delete your Facebook account?

If you do not think you will use Facebook again and would like your account deleted, please keep in mind that you will not be able to reactivate your account or retrieve any of the content or information you have added. If you would like your account permanently deleted with no option for recovery, log in to your account and then submit your request here.

For Temporary Deactivation of your Facebook Account

Some users who are wishing to deactivate their Facebook accounts temporarily for few days, can go for another option. “ Deactivation” Just login to your Facebook account. Then if you deactivate your account from the "Deactivate Account" section on the Account page, your profile and all information associated with it are immediately made inaccessible to other Facebook users. What this means is that you effectively disappear from the Facebook service. Just have a look at the yellow highlighted area in the picture given below.
