When you deactivate your Facebook account, it is not deleted immediately. Your account and all its data will be temporarily hidden until you decide to reactivate it. If you do not reactivate within a certain period, usually 30 days, then your account will be permanently deleted.

How do you delet your facebook account?

In a way, you can't delete, but you can deactivate it.Go to Settings, Account Settings, Deactivate Account:Click Settings (next to "Logout" button). At the bottom, click "Deactivate." Facebook then asks you why and tries to make you stay. If you can't decide, click I have another Facebook account. Then it should say if you want to come back to Facebook, log in again.Your posts, pictures, and comments will all be deleted, along with your entire account. It will be deactivated for two weeks, and then deleted. Don't log in for those first 2 weeks, or your request will be canceled.You will be removed from Facebook and nobody can search for you ever again unless you log back in. If you do log back in, Facebook would recover most of or all info last saved.Please see the "Related Links" section of this answer for a direct link to deleting your Facebook acct.Improved answer yes you can delete it:I deleted my account yesterday after not using it for the last year or so. Make sure you go through the steps to DELETE IT as deactivate is not the same thing. It is not as easy as you think. I suggest manually delete all your files and posts on friends walls so they are not on the servers any longer, basicly erase all uploads and information posted. Then visit the help section, select privacy, select deactivate/delete/memorialize link and then find the link submit form. Click Submit and jump through their hoops. !You'll be asked to confirm, Type in your Password, and then Solve the Captcha. Click Okay to continue.All done, sort of…Even after confirming the deletion of your account, Facebook will only "deactivate" it leaving you 14 days to log back in and cancel the entire deletion… um yeah…I know what you're thinking… "Really? 14 days to delete my data?"1.I completed the scavenger hunt and found the "DELETE" link.2.I saw the BIG RED TEXT warning me my account would be permanently deleted.3.I entered my password.4.I helped translate a book for GOOGLE by solving the Captcha puzzle.5.And lastly I clicked the Okay buttonWhat part of "DELETE MY ACCOUNT" don't you understand Facebook? Perhaps you thought I was joking? Or Drunk? But if that's the case why the 5 steps above? Yes Regis, that's my final answer! Delete my account!Anyway, I think it's pretty obvious by now Facebook doesn't really care about you personally, they just don't want to lose any of YOUR data from their service. Not your employment data, school history, friends, network, photos, your tagged face etc… which they managed to collect from you over the year in their social web. The 14 day grace period is just their last ditch attempt to somehow lure you back into the service somehow (either accidently or from some subconscious facebook addiction) in order to abort the account cancellation process.With this in mind, here's a few tips to make sure you don't "accidently" login to Facebook thus aborting your account nuke process.1.Clear your browser cache and delete all cookies - Firefox / Internet Explorer / Secure Wipe w/CCleaner2.Delete the Facebook Application on your iPhone (don't worry, it's free if you ever want to add it again…)3.Avoid clicking the Facebook Share button on any websites you read such as the button below (sorry, couldn't resist )4.5/5/2010 UPDATE: Reader UXP made a good point in his comment below reminding me that Facebook is also used by many people for single sign on for commenting on blogs or logging into websites (like digg.com for instance). Another example is FacebBook chat clients like Pidgin or Adium. Use these services, post a comment on a blog using FaceBook Connect or login to a site using your FaceBook account during your 14 day waiting period and your FB account will be reactivated. Ouch… that one is gonna hurt if your only Creds on DIGG.com or other sites is your Facebook account…I REPEAT: Your profile isn't deleted right away! You must NOT log in to, or interact in any other way with Facebook for at least two weeks, as it will cancel the deletion request. That includes NOT logging in to Facebook using any client (like the iPhone app or IM:s like Pidgin), NOT clicking embedded Like-buttons on other websites, NOT logging in to other services using Facebook Connect (like Digg) etc etc.Hey, while your're at it, delete all your browsing/forms history and cookies as well, to minimize the risk of accidentally using your account!If you want out - stay out, mmmkay?Now go physicaly say hi to that old school friend and actually connect.First you have to find the Facebook deletion page. then you will have to submit to it. Lastly you cannot get on it for 14 days.go to account setting , hit control account , hit delete account and confirm it on your email ! : )

Also, if you abuse it, and take up around 20 GB in a month, or in a year, they will flag you, look into ur account to see if you are spamming, or abusing the system, and if they decide you are taking up space for no reason, they will delete your account.

what to Do Immediately If our Facebook Ad Account is Hacked?

Possessing your Facebook Ad account or page hacked is an anxiety-inducing scenario. Most often, hackers break into an ad account to display false advertisements. They run their ads using your credit card or another payment mechanism linked to your account. → Deactivate the unauthorized adverts that hackers have developed. Turning the suspicious adverts off will allow you some time to take the necessary actions to repair the situation associated with your compromised account. → Once you turn off the false advertising, they can easily be turned back on if the hackers already have access to your ads account. Click on your Ads Manager account’s activity history to view the activities of the hackers. You may see a history of all account changes performed between a specified period range. → Inform your payment providers regarding the unauthorized charges made to your account and request that block payments to Facebook until the situation is resolved. → Contact Facebook to report the occurrence. Make sure to submit a report through Ads Payment Section once you’ve contacted the support team to explain what occurred to your account. How to Prevent Most of the Hacks Make some changes to your account’s settings and take a few precautions to prevent future hacks of your Facebook page or advertisements account.


After the 30-day dispute period is over and the accounts were deleted from your credit file can the credit card company place the accounts back on your file?

Is there a difference between Account Disabled and Account Deleted in Facebook?

Account Disabled just means you are no longer active, but emails you sent people will still show up as will comments on pictures and profiles. It will just have the comment, then a blank picture with no name. Deleting the profile will take everything away and you cannot get it back after a 2 week waiting period. If you really want it gone, for for deletion. I would still advise deleting all content and friends before hand to be safe.
