How to Delete your Facebook Account 
If you have had enough of Facebook and want out, I’ll show you two ways.You can
temporarily disable
(ie deactivate) your account, or you can
 permanently delete
it off theFacebook servers.
Temporarily Disable your Facebook Account
If you deactivate your Facebook account your profile and all information associated with it areimmediately made inaccessible to other Facebook users. What this means is that you effectivelydisappear from the Facebook service.However, if you want to reactivate your account at some point in the future, your profileinformation (friends, photos, interests, etc) will be restored and your account will look just the wayit did prior to deactivating it. Many users deactivate their accounts for temporary reasons and expecttheir information to be there when they return to the service.To deactivate, login to your Facebook account then click on
Settings –> Account Settings
, Next click on
Settings –> Deactivate

Done! Your account has just been deactivated and your friends can no longer see you on Facebook.You can reactivate it at anytime simply by logging in as normal.. and everything (ie your profile)will be just like it was prior to deactivating it.Deactivating your account gives you a second chance if you decide to use Facebook againsometime later.
