Each user wants to delete his/her Facebook account for various reasons, some want to delete because they have multiple accounts, others want to
delete their Facebook account because they are being abused by other users and others want to delete their Facebook account because they do not wish to be seen online anymore, etc.
But before you
delete your Facebook account, I would like to share with you some important things that you may, or you should remember to do before giving up your social life.
Here are 5 important things you should consider before deleting your Facebook profile:
1. Be Very Sure You Want To Leave Facebook:
If you have decided to leave Facebook, be sure that you have made that decision correctly and you won’t click on any ‘like’ button, you don’t wish to chat with anyone on Facebook, and you don’t wish to browse any Facebook page.
This is because some people decide to delete their account, but just a day after deleting their account, they log back in and like statuses, chat with friends and other stuff.
2. Give Your Pages And Groups To Other Users:
If you have created a group or a page on Facebook, and other members are happy using your group or sharing news in your page, let them keep on enjoying Facebook and don’t take the group away from them simply because you want to leave Facebook.
Just grant admin privileges to other members of that group or page and let them enjoy while you are out of Facebook.
3. Inform Your Friends:
It’s a good idea to let your close friends and acquaintances know that they won’t find you on Facebook anymore. Just inform them that you are about to delete your Facebook account, by doing this, you can exchange contacts and other means of communication with some other good friends that you will miss and who will miss you on Facebook.
4. Download Your Information:
It’s also a good idea to download your data from Facebook, these may include your messages, photos, videos, contacts, and other stuff. To download your information from Facebook, read this help:

5. Uninstall Mobile Apps, Clear Your Browser History And Log In Sessions:
The last thing to consider and remember to do is to uninstall your Facebook app in your mobile devices and also clear your Facebook login sessions and history.
This will help you because someone else can use your device, either mobile or desktop computer and log in again,
reactivating your account in the process if you have left the option of your password being remembered on your device.
DELETE FACEBOOK ACCOUNT PERMANENTLY
If you don’t think you’ll use Facebook again, you can request to have your account permanently deleted.
However, after an account has been deleted it won’t be possible to reactivate your account or retrieve anything you’ve shared on your profile.
Before you do this, you may want to download a copy of your information from Facebook.
The following is the official link for deleting your Facebook account, just click the link and confirm your action, then your account will be completely deleted after two weeks:
https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account
OR:
Log in with your Facebook details on your browser
Click the downward arrow at the top right of your Facebook page
Select “Settings”
Click on the link at the bottom of the main menu that says “Download a copy of your Facebook data”.
Then you need to go to https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account, click on “Delete my account”, then follow the steps to confirm.
N/B: It may take up to 90 days for Facebook to delete all of the things you’ve posted, like your photos, status updates or other data stored in backup systems. While Facebook is deleting this information, it is inaccessible to other people using the social network.
Some of the things you do on Facebook aren’t stored in your account. For example, a friend may still have messages from you in their inbox. That information will remain even after you delete your account so you will need to contact the recipients of you want it removed.
HOW TO DELETE THE ACCOUNT OF DECEASED PERSON
