- thecount122195 8y agoYes there is a way to "delete" it but its burried inside a maze of options and facebook forces you to wait 2 weeks for it to take effect.
- criddell 8y agoI think Facebook maintains profiles on people that don't have accounts. I don't see any reason why deleting your account would cause a deletion of any data. If they did wipe the slate, it probably wouldn't take that long for them to rebuild their dossier on you.
- swagasaurus-rex 8y agoBetter to confound FB by posting/uploading fake content. Even better if you can keep it consistently wrong. Be sure to tag your name to other people's faces to confuse their facial recognition algorithms.
