Accroding to FB help:
"When you delete your account, people won't be able to see it on Facebook. It may take up to 90 days from the beginning of the deletion process to delete all of the things you've posted, like your photos, status updates or other data stored in backup systems. While we are deleting this information, it is inaccessible to other people using Facebook."

- cylinder 9y agoThat doesn't answer the question as to whether they are still using the data internally.
- ghostly_s 9y ago'Deleting' seems pretty clearly to convey that they do not retain that info, for any purpose. (IANAL?)
- nvr219 9y agoIt mentions deleting data stored in backup systems so I'm interpreting that as the data goes away.
- posixplz 9y agoI would imagine that they are either deleting it entirely internally or selectively deleting the data entirely in localities where the law requires them to do so. So far, only the EU has strict regulations requiring businesses to comply with valid requests to delete personal information. (EU GDPR) From a Facebook-makes-money-from-retaining-user-data perspective, I would imagine they are making every effort to ensure they're permanently deleting user data only where legally compelled to do so.
