This is how to delete Facebook account permanently without waiting 14 days: In this latest Facebook Online Support article, we will show you how to delete your Facebook account forever without having to wait for 14 days or any time frame.

I believe you are tired of Facebook and you are confused on the decision to take whether to remove your account temporarily or permanently. There is a clear difference between the deleting and deactivating a Facebook account.

As you may already know, there are so many ways one can close a Facebook account without having to wait for a particular duration. Usually, Facebook takes 90 days (about 3 months) to completely erase off all data concerning your account.

This duration is to give you time in case you have a change of heart to continue Facebook. Within this 90 days, if you truly want to delete your account - - DO NOT login to your Facebook account else your deletion will be nullified and your account reactivated. Same goes to account deactivation.

Deleting a Facebook account temporarily means that you are DEACTIVATING YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT and closing it permanently means DELETING YOUR FACEBOOK. Below are the differences that exist between them.

If you choose to deactivate your account:

• You can reactivate whenever you want.
• People can't see your Timeline or search for you.
• Some info may remain visible (example: messages you sent).

If you choose to delete your FB account:

• You can't regain access once it's deleted.
• Deletion may be delayed a few days after it's requested. A deletion request is cancelled if you log back into your Facebook account during this time.
• It may take up to 90 days to delete data stored in backup systems. Your info isn't accessible on Facebook during this time.
• Some things aren't stored in your account. For example, a friend may have messages from you after deletion.
• Copies of some material (example: log records) may remain in Facebook's database but are disassociated from personal identifiers.

So, if you choose to close your Facebook account temporarily or Deactivate your account, here's how to go about it.

You are advised to download a copy of your Facebook data before you delete your account for future purposes. To download a copy of your Facebook data:

• Click the downward arrow at the top right of any Facebook page
• Select "Settings"
• Click on the link at the bottom of the main menu that says "Download a copy of your Facebook data".

After you have downloaded your data on Facebook, all you need to do is visit this link: https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account, click on "Delete my account", then follow the steps to confirm your Facebook account deletion.

If you have the steps above correctly, your Facebook account will be deleted immediately but you may have to wait for 90 days before everything concerning your account will be deleted.

To be on the safer side, after 90 days, don't still log back to your Facebook account because your tracking of days might incorrect. I will advise you use your friends account to find your account. If you don't see it, know that the deletion has worked.
