Facebook is a great way to connect with your loved ones, old classmates, relatives etc.

But after a point, it gets addictive and you want to go back to connecting with people in person instead of virtually. Facebook’s privacy policies also have been a big problem.

So how exactly do you delete facebook account?

The clever guys at facebook have not provided a direct option for people to delete their accounts permanently. Yes, they do provide an option to deactivate a facebook account on your ‘Edit profile’ page (see screenshot)

How To Deactivate your Facebook Account:

1. Click the account menu
2. Choose Account Settings
3. Select Security from the left-hand menu
