Cancel My Facebook Account

I can absolutely sympathize with you. It's the only site I know where I have to go through the personal privacy settings and make certain things have not "evolved" to leave my details, connections and information more exposed to either online search engine spiders or the general public than I want. Truly, it's pretty extremely lame on their part in a society where people grumble all the time about loss of personal privacy in the digital world.
That's another topic, nevertheless, I suppose.:-.

If you are sure that you do wish to delete your Facebook account then here's how you do that.

Are you sure that's exactly what you wish to do, however, rather than just going into the personal privacy settings and lessening your exposure?

Remembered your password? Good. Now prove you're not a robotic:.

This CAPTCHA requires the words "Society" "darneder" (whatever that implies). Enter those correctly and click on "Send".

Success! The account is officially shut down, removed, erased and ... um, just a sec. As you can see from the text above, Facebook does not appear to erase your details, just deactivate the account. I'm guessing that's not exactly what you want, however it's the very best you can do.
