Deactivate Your Facebook Account

 

Access the Facebook home page and log in using the email address and password you originally registered with (see Resources below). If you've forgotten you password, click on "Log in" and follow the link to reset your password.

 

Head to the "My Account" page using the link from the menu.

 

Follow the "Click Here" link under the Deactivate Account section. You will be taken to a short form to fill out before you close your account.

 

Tell Facebook why you're leaving. Select the button next to the reason for deactivating your account. There is also space to write other comments.

 

Opt in or out of Facebook emails. Even if you account is deactivated, your friends can still invite you to events or ask you to join groups. If you don't want any email from Facebook at all, check the appropriate box.

 

Click the "Deactivate" button. You will be taken to a page confirming your account deactivation.
