You’ll be prompted to confirm your decision to delete your account.

Important Notes:

Permanent Deletion: Once your account is permanently deleted, there’s no way to recover it. All your data, including posts, photos, and messages, will be permanently removed.
Data Retention: Facebook may retain some of your data for a limited time for legal or security purposes. However, this data will not be publicly accessible.
Third-Party Apps: If you’ve connected third-party apps to your Facebook account, you may need to manage those connections separately.

By following these steps, you can effectively and permanently delete your Facebook account. If you have any further questions or encounter difficulties during the process, don’t hesitate to contact Facebook’s customer support.
