How To Delete Your Facebook Account

Everyone knows what Facebook is, and it is hard to find a person who doesn’t have a profile on this social network. Facebook has many good sides. We can connect with the people we love no matter how far they live. We can share statuses, photos, and videos. In addition, we can send messages, and so on. There are some bad sides as well. People spend too much time on social network sites instead of going out more and talking to each other, so some users decided to delete their social network accounts.

Plus, deleting your account is not something you can do with a few clicks. Let’s see how to delete your Facebook account.

Deactivating Vs. Deleting Facebook Account

Facebook is giving you two options. You deactivate or delete your account.

When you deactivate your Facebook account, your profile won’t be visible to your Facebook friends and other social network users. If you change your mind and want to use Facebook again, all you need to do is log in. Your messages, photos, friends – everything will be there.

Once you delete your Facebook account, there is no turning back. You won’t be able to reactivate it, and the content you added will be erased. Everything will be lost – messages, photos, friends, and so on. If you want to use Facebook again one day, the only option will be to create a new profile.
