Cancel My Facebook Account Now
Deactivating
Facebook offers you 2 options: two choices: deactivate or erase
The very first couldn't be easier. On the desktop computer, click the drop-down menu at the top-right of your screen as well as select settings. Click General on the top left, Edit beside "Manage Account" Scroll down and also you'll see a "Deactivate My Account" link at the bottom. (Here's the direct link to use while logged in.).
If you're on your smart phone, such as making use of Facebook for iOS, similarly most likely to settings > Account settings > General > Manage Account > Deactivate.
Facebook doesn't take this gently - it'll do whatever it can to maintain you around, including psychological blackmail regarding how much your friends will miss you.
Because of this, "Deactivation" is not the like leaving Facebook. Yes, your timeline will certainly go away, you won't have accessibility to the site or your account via mobile applications, friends cannot post or contact you, as well as you'll shed access to all those third-party services that make use of (or need) Facebook for login. However Facebook does not remove the account. Why? So you can reactivate it later on.
Simply in case that expected re-activation isn't in your future, you must download a copy of all your data on Facebook - posts, photos, videos, talks, and so on-- from the settings menu (under "General"). Just what you locate might stun you, as our Neil Rubenking learnt.
Account Deletion
To completely erase your Facebook account forever and ever, most likely to the Remove My Account page at https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account. Simply be aware that, per the Facebook data use policy "after you eliminate information from your profile or remove your account, copies of that information may stay viewable somewhere else to the level it has actually been shown to others, it was otherwise distributed pursuant to your privacy settings, or it was duplicated or stored by other users.".
Translation: if you composed a discuss a buddy's status upgrade or image, it will stay after you delete your own account. Some of your posts as well as pictures might spend time for as long as 90 days after removal, as well, however just on Facebook web servers, not survive the website.
Deletion on Behalf of Others
If you wish to inform Facebook regarding a user you know is under 13, you could report the account, you narc. If Facebook could "fairly confirm" the account is used by somebody underage-- Facebook prohibits children under 13 to adhere to government law-- it will remove the account instantly, without informing any individual.
There's a different kind to request elimination of represent people that are clinically incapacitated and thus not able to make use of Facebook. For this to work, the requester must confirm they are the guardian of the individual concerned (such as by power of attorney) in addition to deal an official note from a physician or clinical center that define the incapacitation. Edit any type of details required to keep some personal privacy, such as medical account numbers, addresses, etc.
If a user has passed away, a tradition get in touch with-- a Facebook buddy or loved one who was designated by the account proprietor before they passed away-- can obtain access to that person's timeline, once approved by Facebook. The legacy call could have to give a link to an obituary or other documents such as a death certification. Facebook will certainly "hallow" the web page so the deceased timeline survives on (under control of the tradition get in touch with, who can not post as you), or if preferred, remove it.
Assign a details tradition get in touch with person to handle your account after your passing. You could locate that under settings > General > Manage Account > Your Legacy Contact. As soon as you established one up, you'll get a notice every year from Facebook to double check that the contact should stay the very same, unless you pull out of that. You could likewise take the added step of ensuring that after you die, if the tradition get in touch with does report you to Facebook as departed, your account gets erased (even if the tradition contact wants the timeline to be memorialized).
