Facebook Delete Account: How?

Now that you have downloaded your Facebook photos, how can you permanently delete your FB account?

There are 5 steps to delete your Facebook, thanks to CNET:

First, you should disconnect all the other applications and logins that are connected with your Facebook account. To do this, log in to Facebook and click the settings button found on the upper right corner. Then, go to Apps and websites and remove all the applications.
In the Facebook homepage, click the arrow on the upper right, and choose the Settings button. After, in the side menu, click the Your Facebook Information then choose the Deactivation and Deletion. Then, choose Permanently Delete Account.
To confirm the Facebook account deletion, click the Delete account button.
Next, you should choose and utilize another social media application or messaging in order for the people to have an online communication with you. Don't forget to tell your loved ones!
Finally, you can now uninstall your Facebook app on all your devices.

After deleting your FB account, you have an option to go back and retrieve your Facebook account for 30 days only. This can be done through logging in again to your Facebook and click the Cancel Deletion button to confirm the request.

Facebook will usually take a maximum of 90 days to delete all your Facebook information from all their servers. After that period, it can never be restored again, and if you wish to go back to Facebook, you need to create a new account.
