How to delete your Facebook account?


    Contrary to what one might think, deleting a Facebook account is not very complicated. If a few clicks are enough to do the operation, keep in mind that you lose all the information it contains.


    Before you start deleting your Facebook account, make sure you have made a backup by sending Facebook a request to create an archive (see our question-answer How to back up your Facebook account ).

    Facebook gives itself up to 90 days to delete all content linked to an account (photos, statuses, videos, etc.). This information is not accessible on Facebook during this period. However, be aware that some activities and data shared with other members may persist. “For example, a friend will still keep your messages even after deleting your account. This information persists even after the deletion of your account ”, specifies the social network.
