Cancelling Facebook
I can absolutely have compassion with you. It's the only website I know where I need to go through the personal privacy settings and make certain things haven't "developed" to leave my info, connections and information more exposed to either search engine spiders or the general public than I want. Truly, it's pretty exceptionally lame on their part in a society where people grumble all the time about loss of privacy in the digital world.
That's another topic, nevertheless, I suppose.:-.
If you are sure that you do wish to erase your Facebook account then here's how you do that.
Are you sure that's exactly what you wish to do, nevertheless, instead of just entering into the privacy settings and decreasing your direct exposure?
Okay, alright. Here are the steps ...
Go to "Account Settings":.
As soon as your there, scroll down and at the bottom you'll discover:.
Click the "shut down" link on the right and you'll see an exhaustive list of reasons you may desire to leave. They're gathering data, obviously:.
Sounds like your issue is about personal privacy, so if you select "I have a privacy issue" you'll discover a little editorial commentary from the Facebook team:.
A bit lower down you can also define that individuals sending you buddy invites (etc) will or will not bother you:.
Once again, I 'd say you ought to believe carefully prior to you check this alternative, but if you actually wish to never ever have Facebook darken your email doorstep again, this is how to do it.
In any case, click on "Deactivate My Account" if you make sure that's exactly what you wish to do. Now it's time to go through the gauntlet, beginning with your password again (just in case somebody sees you visited and chooses it 'd be a fantastic practical joke to delete your account):.
Remembered your password? Great. Now prove you're not a robot:.
This CAPTCHA requires the words "Society" "darneder" (whatever that indicates). Enter those properly and click "Send".
Success! The account is officially shut down, removed, deleted and ... um, simply a sec. As you can see from the text above, Facebook doesn't seem to erase your details, just shut down the account. I'm guessing that's not exactly what you want, but it's the very best you can do.
By the method, a couple of minutes later you'll get an e-mail from Facebook about your shut down Facebook account:.
So now you understand. That's the very best you can do, and it does efficiently shut down your Facebook account and prevent anyone else from utilizing your email address in the future.
