How to delete a Facebook account permanently
If you’re set on deleting your Facebook account for good, click the following link and choose the ‘Delete Account’ option.
Before deleting your account though, you may want to download your Facebook data. To do this, click the ‘Download Info‘ button first. The file that begins downloading will contain your Facebook profile information, so be very careful about where you keep it.
How to deactivate a Facebook account
To deactivate your Facebook account, click the following link and choose the ‘Deactivate Account‘ option, and then follow the steps to confirm your decision.
To reactivate your account after deactivating it, simply log into your Facebook account again using your email address or phone number, and password. Your profile will be resurrected.
