<h2>
Step-By-Step Deletion Guide</h2>
This guide will take you through a smooth and successful Facebook account deletion.<br />
<ul>
<li>Log in to Facebook.</li>
<li>Backup your Facebook data if required.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
The Account Deletion Process</h2>
A two week ‘deactivation’ period is enforced once you initiate permanent account deletion.<br />
Logging in to your account during this time will cancel the deletion request.<br />
To prevent this happening by accident,<br />
<ul>
<li>Revoke app permissions e.g. Spotify.</li>
<li>Log out of or delete phone and tablet apps, including Facebook Home.</li>
<li>Be wary of websites that allow you to login using Facebook.</li>
<li>Lock down all privacy settings in case of accidental reactivation.</li>
</ul>
<div class="call">
TIP! Change your password before deletion to minimise automatic login issues.</div>
<q>‘It
 typically takes about one month to delete an account, but some 
information may remain in backup copies and logs for up to 90 days.’</q> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/your-info">(Facebook Data Use Policy).</a><br />
<h2>
Delete Sensitive Data</h2>
Facebook will delete your data upon account deletion, but shared data may remain.<br />
<ul>
<li>Delete any embarrassing pages, posts, messages and photos.</li>
<li>Contact friends about shared content that you would like deleted.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
Groups & Pages</h2>
If
 something important is organised primarily through a Facebook group, be
 sure to arrange alternative means of staying up to date.<br />
If you 
run a group or page, ensure that administrator rights are shared with 
another account, assuming you wish to keep it. If not, here is how to delete a Facebook page.<br />
<h2>
Social Consequences</h2>
It
 is important to remember that friends may still think you are on 
Facebook. They may attempt to invite you to events and send you 
messages.<br />
Consider an account deletion epitaph to explain the situation, including alternative means of communication. This will avoid any confusion.<br />
