How to Deactivate/Disable Facebook Account?
There are two ways to disable your Facebook account.
(i) Temporary as in it is reversible
(ii) Permanently Disabled
If you attempt deactivation of your Facebook account you have the chance to reactivate it in the future and resume using it. When your account is deactivated your friends and friends friends fail to see your timeline or search for you. Some of the data like messages you sent, may still be visible.
And in case you delete your Facebook account it cannot be reversible. Once deleted means you lost your account forever and there is no possibility of account reactivation in the future. So this is a careful decision to be made. After you place your request for deleting your account permanently it allows a grace period. It has a provision to “delay deletion a few days after it’s requested” and if the user sign in to his account in this grace period deletion request is cancelled automatically. The account deletion request involves that a deletion request is canceled if you log back into your account during that period. They further say that it can take up to 90 days off time to delete the complete data stored in backup systems.
