Step 4: Open the Settings Menu

In the “Settings & Privacy” section, select “Settings.”

Step 5: Find Your Facebook Information

On the left-hand side of the page, you’ll see a list of options. Click on “Your Facebook Information.”

At this point, Facebook will inform you that your account will be deleted after 30 days. If you’re absolutely certain about your decision, tap “Delete Account.”

Congratulations! You’ve initiated the process to permanently delete your Facebook account. Remember that during the 30-day waiting period, if you log in to your account or use Facebook in any way, the deletion process will be canceled. To ensure your account is deleted as planned, refrain from logging in during this period.

After the 30 days, your Facebook account and all your data will be permanently gone, and there’s no way to recover it. If you change your mind, be sure to cancel the deletion before the 30-day period expires.

That’s all there is to it. Deleting your Facebook account is a simple process, but it’s essential to consider all the implications before taking this step. Make sure you’ve backed up any important data or photos you want to keep, and be prepared for life without Facebook.
