Instructions for deleting or deactivating your Facebook profile.

Even if I'm slowly starting to like Facebook, there are always people who don't know how to tell you Delete Facebook profile can. The instructions for this are actually not long, but you just have to know which URL to visit.

Another note is the possibility of being Deactivate profile, because you don't have to have everything deleted right away. Facebook also offers the temporary deactivation of the account. The data is only removed from the social media giant's visible pages, but can be restored later. In the event of a deletion, the matter is final and there is no way to restore the profile ... but now to the two instructions:

A. Delete Facebook account

In order to remove your personal data with the entire profile from Facebook you have to carry out the following steps:

  1. You log into Facebook - with the account that you want to delete!
  2. Then visit this URL: https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account
  3. Click on "Delete my account"
  4. Enter password
  5. Confirm deletion (Attention! If you don't cancel now, you've really thrown everything into the big bin! Restoration impossible!)
Delete Facebook account

Delete Facebook account: You should only take this step if you are sure that you definitely don't want to use your profile anymore. Restoration is not possible!

B: Deactivate Facebook account

If you just want to deactivate your profile, you can do this via a small text link on the "Security Settings" page:

  1. Log into Facebook with the profile that you want to deactivate.
  2. Then on the "Security Settings" page: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=security
  3. Then click on "Deactivate your account" at the bottom left
  4. And confirm again ...
Deactivate Facebook account

Deactivate Facebook account: this way you can take a short break from Facebook without having to completely and permanently delete your account.

    I always thought you couldn't delete your account, just deactivate it. But good to know that it works! It's actually very easy. At the moment, however, I cannot imagine that I will delete myself from fb in the near future. ;)
    Best regards,
