Delete or Deactivate a Facebook account?

If you ask me what is the difference in deleting and deactivating your Facebook account then you should read below bullet points.

What happens when you deactivate your account?

• It becomes in-accessible to all the other internet users
• Only messages maybe left which you have sent and no other data will be visible even to your friends
• Your same account can be restored upon your desire

What happens when you delete a Facebook account?

• Facebook don't want you to delete an account and when you request a deletion they put an hold on account
• If in that hold you login to the account the deletion will be canceled, otherwise, the account will be permanently deleted
• You and nobody else will be able to login or get access to the account when its deleted
• In 90 days, Facebook will delete all backups of your accounts from its storage and backup systems

Still messages and some logs will be there as they have to keep their other users happy and for security reasons they may store your account logs. But in the end, your account will be gone forever and even you can't get it back when its deleted.

In the end, I don't recommend you to delete your account. If you have a problem and don't want to use Facebook then go ahead and deactivate your Facebook account for while. I am pretty sure that you will want to use it after some time. However, it's your own choice. 😃
