Is it really that scary to delete your account? It's really, really easy to reactivate. When I deactivated my Facebook account it was hard to not reactivate it.

- flippyhead 14y agoYeah but they say they remove all your posts and photos too.
- fein 14y agoI deleted, not deactivated, my account about 2 years ago; it's far more liberating than scary. Of course, I still have an fb account for running ads and using the api's, but neither my name nor personal email is tied to it at all.
- qu4z-2 14y agoIn my experience liberating and scary often go hand-in-hand.
- JeremyBanks 14y agoDeactivating your Facebook account is not the same thing as deleting it. Deleting is permanent (though it's delayed to prevent abuse). https://www.facebook.com/help/214376678584711 https://www.facebook.com/help/214376678584711 https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674 https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674
- kyrias 14y agoSure, but you have to wait for (last time I checked) 1 month without logging in before it's actually deleted.
