This is What Differentiates “To Deleting” and “To Deactivating” a Facebook Account
1. You can reactivate whenever you want.
2. People can’t see your timeline or search for you.
3. Some information may remain visible to others (example: messages you sent).
• You can’t regain access once it’s deleted.
• We delay deletion a few days after it’s requested. A deletion request is cancelled if you log back into your Facebook account during this time.
• It may take up to 90 days to delete data stored in backup systems. Your information isn’t accessible on Facebook during this time.
• Some information, such as messaging history, isn’t stored in your account. This means friends may still have access to messages you sent after your account has been deleted.
• Copies of some material (example: log records) may remain in our database but are disassociated from personal identifiers.
