How do I close my Facebook account?
If you don’t want to be on Facebook anymore, you have two options to close your account. You can deactivate your profile or, alternatively, delete it completely. The biggest difference is that if you deactivate your data will remain on Facebook and if you delete your data will be deleted. Here is the difference between deactivate and delete in the overview:
If you deactivate your Facebook account …
- … only you can see your profile
- … you can continue to use Facebook Messenger
- … your sent messages remain visible
- … your name will still be shown to your friends
- … your name, your comments and your contributions are retained in groups
If you delete your Facebook account …
- … it is completely gone and you cannot reactivate it again
- … all your user data and content that you have uploaded to Facebook will be deleted forever
- … you can no longer use the messenger
- … your sent messages will still be displayed
