I used a script to delete everything before deactivating. Unfortunately this caused some negative feelings from friends who I had unfriended when I decided to reactivate the account. In hindsight easily avoided mistake. Since Facebook accounts can be easily reactivated by accident, or phantom causes as users here pointed out, I would next time use a tool that sent a message to each friend explaining the situation before deletion.

I've broken (irl) contact with people who (consistently) tried that. this is textbook toxic behaviour and psychological manipulation, how does anyone put up with this shit.
