How to Delete Facebook Account? On Desktop

Описание: Today I will be showing you how to delete your Facebook account on the computer, using the Facebook website. If you suspect your account has been hacked or you just want to know how to delete your Facebook account on the computer permanently or temporarily, this video is for you.

Okay, let’s get started.

Step (1)
The first step is easy, just go on the computer to Facebook.com and click the triangle in the top left of the screen. This will drop down a list of options, go ahead and click “Setting and Privacy” then click “settings.”

Step (2)
After clicking “settings” Facebook will take you to the “general account settings page.” Here you will select the option “Your Facebook Information.” Then select “view” on the deactivation and deletion selection on the computer screen.

Step (3)
Once you have selected to view the Facebook account deactivation tab, Facebook will prompt you with two options: to “permanently delete” your account or to temporarily deactivate the account. For this video, I am choosing to “deactivate the account” because the “delete account option” is very straightforward and requires little explanation. Go ahead and select “deactivate account” and then click “continue with account deactivation.” If you want to delete your Facebook account forever click the permanently delete option to permanently delete your Facebook account on the computer.

Step (4)
This new page is asking for the “reason you are leaving” so go ahead and select your reason, I choose “privacy concern” for my reason. Once you have selected your reason most likely Facebook will then ask for feedback, however, this is not required so click the “x” button to skip this. Now that you have chosen your reasoning, then you must decide if you want facebook emails still sent to your email address, click the white box to opt-out. Then you will need to do the same thing with deciding if you still want access to Facebook messenger. After all those things are taken care of you will then select “deactivate” at the bottom of the page. Even if you delete your Facebook account Facebook will allow you to have access to your Facebook messenger conversations.

Step (5)
After you have pressed deactivate, Facebook will ask you one last time if you want to deactivate. If you are positive you want to deactivate your account click “deactivate now.” If you ever want to get back into your Facebook account and reactivate it, all you have to do is sign in like normal.
