How to Close your Facebook Account
This hub is going to show you how to close your Facebook account. Everyone knows that Facebook is the #1 social networking site in the world. There are literally millions and millions of people on the site. You can 'friend' anyone from co-workers, long-lost relatives, old high school friends, old boyfriend/girlfriend-you name it. It is obviously a great place to re-connect with friends or family members you haven’t heard from in awhile, or stay closer to the ones that you see almost everyday.
Reasons why you might close your Facebook account
Why would you want to terminate your social networking account? It is such a great social media tool that you would think it’s rare for someone to do it. But there are indeed some people who have had just enough, and some of these reason may be but are not limited to:
- Some people that request you may not really be friends. These people requesting you may just be acquaintances and the only reason why they requested you is just to be nosy and try to know about what’s going on in your life. Do you really want these types of people 'friending' you?
- Posting excessive pictures. You may be tired of seeing everyday someone post a new picture of what's going on in their life. Sometimes you might find it to be fun and cool seeing what they are experiencing, but if it's constantly everyday you might start to think people are just being vain and do not want to deal with it.
- You are tired of reading people’s annoying news feeds. Every time you log on you notice someone’s annoying new score on FarmVille, MafiaWars, or some other facebook integrated game. Or they may rant how badly their day was, and looking for some reassurance which you really don't care to give them, or see how other people cater to their beckoning call.
Well, there might be numerous reasons to call it quits, and I only named a few. But there is a solution if you want to close your account. But first, there are two ways to end your account: delete your account or deactivate your account.
How to deactivate your Facebook account
If you deactivate your account, your profile and information will be instantly inactive. Your information will not be lost however, and you will be available to recover whenever you so choose.
Here are the steps:
- Go to Account menu on far top right corner of the page and select Account -> Account Settings then from here you'll be on the Settings tab the last option below is Deactivate Account and select it.
- After you have done this, Facebook will ask to that this is indeed what you want to do and you select to confirm.

How to permanently delete your Facebook account
You also have the option to delete your Facebook profile permanently. If you want to do that you can follow this link on Facebook to delete.
But there is a chance if you decide you do not want to really delete your profile and lose all of your pictures and information. Facebook gives you a 14 day period to not log-on. If you do log-on, all if forgiven and your profile is saved. But you if do not, your information will be lost for good.
I hope you found this information useful if you are indeed wanting to close your Facebook account. Or, if you just wanted a good laugh to see some of the reasons why someone would ever fathom it!

Woah, weird comments up above. Anyhow John, my current problem is that FB deactivated my acct months ago and I can no longer even access it. I'm going to give your suggestions a try...in reverse. I want my account back, and it seems your ideas may help me.
Somehow!!??
SERIOUSLY. Read the guy's article again!
He's not offering to close your account!!
"plz permanently close my facebook account"
How the hell is someone else going to close YOUR facebook account? What's the matter with all of you? Follow the instructions and your account will be closed, DURRRRR?!
"This site tells you how to do it yourself. It does not offer to DO IT FOR YOU!
What a bunch of can't spell, string-a-sentence-together, reading comprehension challenged RETARDS!" by GEEEEEZ!.
TOO RIGHT!
Thanks for making me feel like sh*t, Grady. I don't know if your comment was aimed in any way at me, but your words have almost caused me to lose faith in humanity.
Try kindness rather than criticism-offer suggestions instead of insults.
John's work here is not some sort of offer to "do it for you," I agree, however your words are unnecessarily cruel.
I have been through the process as instructed and still can't find the deactivate account link. I have also tried going onto privacy settings. Still no deactivate account!!
Close my account.
plese close my facebook ID.
Leave John alone, for God's sake! Find out how to do this yourselves!
PLEASE CLOSE COMPLETELY MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT, AM NO LONGER INTERESTED.

Love all these comments - priceless!
somebody have imitate me on the facebook, how do i want to deactivate the facebook account..plz help me teach me how to close the person profile...
God, you people are NOT paying ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!
John, let them know what this Hub is really saying!!!
john Alan, there are quite a few reasons to dump a Facebook account, and I've done it a couple of years ago before starting a new one.
But these comments! I get a lot of similar ones on my Wordpress blogs, and they're generated by bots. Comment spam. i know I get more on-crack comments than I do actual readers on one blog. Just doesn't add up any other way. i know my "delete" finger gets *itchy* after wading through a bunch of them.
Comment spam? Never heard of such a thing. ericsomething, the comments here are absolutely absurd, obviously by the bots you mentioned. Or are they? Real folks can be pretty stupid, In my opinion.
i am forget my facebook passward and also forget my yahoo account
so how can i close my facebook account
plzzzzzzz close my facebook account

Hey Olivia, you may want to delete your facebook account, but I want you to REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THIS HUB!

hey dumb people they will not close your account ,they show you how to do it. and even if they did how would they know your id ,when you just ask to close your account. bozo's
wow i have to say, even if lots tried before, people should read before asking...how many times the same question. Seriously, wake up and think, its not in a thread whith comments that someone will desactivate ANY account. Everyone should know that. And boy funny to look at even if it's that pathetic. Not to be continued, I hope.
please close my acct on fb as soon as possible......i dont know how to do it....tnks
please close my account fb
