How to Delete or Memorialize Facebook for Others That means you'll have a month to come back to Facebook before it really gets rid of your account, in case you change your mind. There is a deletion grace period of 30 days. Some of your posts and pictures may hang around for as long as 90 days after deletion, as well, though only on Facebook servers-not live on the site. Translation: If you wrote a comment on a friend's status update or photo, it will remain even after you delete your own profile. Just be aware that, per the Facebook data use policy (Opens in a new tab), "After you remove information from your profile or delete your account, copies of that information may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent it has been shared with others, it was otherwise distributed pursuant to your privacy settings, or it was copied or stored by other users." To delete your Facebook account fully and forever, go to /help/delete_account (Opens in a new tab).
What you find might surprise you (Opens in a new tab).
Just in case that reactivation isn't going to happen, download a copy of all your data (Opens in a new tab) on Facebook-posts, photos, videos, chats, and so on-from the menu for Settings & Privacy > Settings > Privacy > Your Facebook Information > Download Profile information. It says so as you deactivate: "This can be temporary." And you can still use Facebook Messenger. Why? So you'll be able to reactivate it later. But Facebook does not delete the account. Yes, your timeline will disappear, you won't have access to the site or your account, friends can't post or contact you, and you'll lose access to all those third-party services that use (or require) Facebook for login. "Deactivation" is not the same as leaving Facebook permanently. Facebook doesn't take deactivation lightly-it'll do whatever it can to keep you around, including emotional blackmail about how much your friends will miss you.
