Difference between deletion and deactivation

Deactivation acts as a temporary account freeze. For example, you decide to go to the mountains and indulge in a digital detox without Facebook and constant notifications, but you know for sure that in a couple of months you will return and you will need an account with all your contacts and messages. By the way, about messages - when you delete your Facebook profile, your connection to Messenger will also be deleted, which will lead to the loss of all dialogues and data in correspondence. Therefore, if your FB account is no longer needed, but personal messages are a different matter, then you can use the option to deactivate the account instead of deleting it.

How to deactivate a Facebook account

From the web version

From any Facebook page you need to click on the triangle drop-down menu (the rightmost icon in the top menu) and select “Settings”, or simply go to this link.

Click “Edit” on the “Account Management” block

And click “Deactivate account” at the very bottom of this settings block.

If you definitely decide that you no longer need it, as well as Messenger (to leave is to leave), then instead of deactivating your account, which still leaves the opportunity to roll back everything, it will be preferable for you to delete the entire account, without the possibility of recovery.

In the same way as when deactivating, go to the general settings of Facebook, but from the “General” tab go to "Your Facebook Information". Here you can request an archive of all information for downloading to your computer, if you definitely don’t mind the account, but all those hundreds of photographs, recordings, notes and comments are a pity. The social network will create an archive of all this data for you, which can be downloaded before deleting your account.

On the deletion page, you will be asked once again, just in case, to deactivate your account instead of deleting it if you need Messenger, and also to download an archive with the information you downloaded.

You can then unzip the data file and make sure that everything is actually saved - from your saved objects and links and account information to all photos (taking into account the nesting hierarchy of your albums) and likes and friends list at the time of deletion account.

If you have thought everything over and decided to delete your account permanently, all you have to do is click the appropriate button and then enter the account password to confirm.

What is the difference between deactivating a page and deleting it?

Deactivating a Facebook account causes the profile to become unavailable. Previously uploaded photos are in most cases deleted, however, some information, for example, first and last name, is saved in the lists of communities that you have already joined. Deactivated pages are easy to restore, so for those who want to return to Facebook in the future, I advise you to deactivate rather than delete the page.

Deleting a Facebook page completely deletes your data and you will no longer be able to recover it! However, do not forget that Facebook cooperates with US intelligence services and a copy of your data will forever remain on one of the intelligence services’ servers. However, law-abiding citizens and those not connected with the Russian secret services have nothing to fear. You are of no interest to intelligence.

It's actually not that difficult, as you'll see below. Today we will talk about the social network Facebook.

Currently, the social network is the largest in the world - it has more than one billion members worldwide. Its creator is the young and ambitious Mark Zuckerberg, who for a long time topped the list of the youngest billionaires. It's worth noting that Mark was not the only one who created the site; in fact, he had help from college friends: Chris Hughes, Eduardo Saverin and Dustin Moskowitz.

The Winklevoss brothers, who attended university with Zuckerberg, later accused him of stealing their idea. This is described in more detail in the film The Social Network, which was released in 2010.

In short, the project is extremely interesting, although it is not very successful in Russia. This is probably due to the site that most of our compatriots prefer.

But enough of the lyrics, let's get down to business. Before 2009, it was impossible to delete all your data on the site. They say that even after several months passed after deleting the page, users discovered that some of their data still remained on the resource. And only after the public protest was signed by more than 50 thousand people, the project administration added an account deactivation function, and there are two methods.

The first method (allows you to restore the page)

On the page that opens, on the right side of the screen, click on the “Security” link.

Below the description of the functions you will see a small link “Deactivate account” - click on it.

You can then choose the reason for your decision. Afterwards you need to click on the “Confirm” button.

A window will appear in front of you in which you need to enter your account password and click “Disable now.”

That's it, the problem is solved. However, remember that as soon as you return to this page, that is, log in, your profile will be automatically restored. You will receive an additional message about this by email.

Second way (forever)

Accordingly, it will not be possible to restore your account even with a strong desire.

Open the site again, enter your username and password. Then enter this link into the browser line httpss://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account, press Enter and get to the page where you will need to confirm your decision.

Click on “Delete my account”, in the window that opens, enter the password in the upper text field, and the captcha in the lower one and click on the OK button.

A message opens from which you learn that the profile has been disabled on the site, but within 14 days you can restore it. After two weeks it will be permanently deleted. Click on OK.

That's it, are you logged out of your account? it will be automatically deleted. But you have time to restore it. To do this, log in to the site using your login and cancel the deletion.
