This comprehensive guide walks you through the process of permanently deleting your Facebook account. It begins by stressing the importance of downloading your data archive, detailing how to access and save your photos, chat logs, IP addresses, and other personal information. The guide then provides a step-by-step walkthrough of the account deletion process via the Accounts Center, covering options like temporary deactivation versus permanent deletion, and explaining how to provide a reason for leaving. Finally, it reminds users to delete their accounts on other Meta-owned services (like Instagram and WhatsApp) and notes that some information may persist even after deletion.
