How To Delete A Facebook Account
Sometimes, you just need to take your life offline and away from the public gaze. In this quick video, Danny Bermant of Brainstorm Design shows you step-by-step how to turn off your Facebook account, while preserving it for later, should you decide to go public again.
If you want to delete your Facebook account, go to the account setting up here and you have an option called account settings. Now, you'll have a number of options here, but where you need to go to is near the bottom of the screen and you have got an option that says deactivate account. Now, deactivate doesn't completely delete your account.
But it takes your account off-line. What you need to do is you need to give the reason that you're leaving. Say I've got another Facebook account, then just confirm that.
Now, Facebook will prompt you a couple of times so to make sure that you're not accidentally deleting an account that you don't want to delete. Now, the second stage of the security check of deleting your Facebook account is that you will actually need to put in a sequence of letters that appear on the screen. This is known as CAPTCHA.
So, just type in what you see there. The reason that Facebook do this is that they want to make sure that you are doing this very carefully, you don't irrationally do something that you don't want to do. So, if any time in the future, you decide you want to go back onto Facebook, if you use the e-mail address and password that you originally used, you will be able to reactivate it again.
And that is how you delete your Facebook account. .
