Not interacting with Facebook sounds easy, but it's not.
You have to clear the caches on every browser on any computer that you've ever logged into Facebook with. You have to delete all native Facebook clients. You can't log into any site that uses Facebook Connect. You can't accidentally click on a Facebook 'like' button. You can't respond to any mails Facebook sends you or click on a Facebook related link. Etc etc.
If you so much as look in the direction of Facebook during the two weeks following your deletion request, it is canceled.

- tedunangst 15y agoWait. If you delete your facebook account and then accidentally click a like button, you're just magically logged back in? It doesn't ask for your password?
- Samuel_Michon 15y agoIt does, but even if you don't fill in your password, you'll receive an email welcoming you back, canceling the account deletion request.
