I “deleted” my account years ago using this link (back in 2014), came back last year and found that it was never really deleted. I happened to click “login” when I realized my password manager was still filling in my password (to be expected), and it logged me in just fine, same profile page... it was as if I never clicked delete.
I deleted it again, and it finally “took” this time, but I have no idea what happened before. My best guess is that iOS was still logged into it through its facebook integration and that counted me as having logged in before the grace period expired. Either way it left a really bad taste in my mouth.
(I was a facebook user in 2005 and kinda stopped using it around the time they stopped letting you have your “news feed” just be a simple time-sorted list of your friends’ posts. Neither of my attempts to delete my account were any kind of statement — the site was just boring to me and I never found myself posting much.)
- zuppy 9y agoThere are 2 different actions: one that deactivates your account and one that actually deletes it. You've probably used the deactivate functionality, because the other one needs more digging in order to find it.
