- envy2 5y agoDeleting a FB account is already trivial. Instructions here (essentially, press "Permanently Delete Account" in settings and put in your password to confirm): https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674 https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674
- chaircher 5y agoI am under the impression this varies wildly from country to conutry but am unsure - maybe someone else can chime in to confirm/deny?
- zenmaster10665 5y agohuh? you can deactivate and delete your FB account through Facebook...why would this be easier?
- nathanyz 5y agoDon't they maintain shadow accounts and not actually delete the account in the background. That was my understanding from prior discussions around it. Basically they hide the account, not actually delete the account and all data associated with your use. Could be totally wrong here though...
- CGamesPlay 5y agoThey absolutely delete the account and data associated with it, however the shadow accounts thing is... separate. Their line of reasoning is: well, I uploaded your phone number, so it's "my" data and not "yours", so "you" can't delete it...
- Nextgrid 5y agoThere's no reason Facebook will delete your account as opposed to soft-deleting it, or maybe will "comply" by literally deleting your username & password but keeping the rest of the data. It's Facebook after all.
