How to Delete Facebook Account Temporarily
In today’s digital age, social media platforms like Facebook have become an integral part of our lives. However, there may be instances when you want to take a break from the constant updates and notifications. Deleting your Facebook account temporarily can provide you with the much-needed break without the hassle of deactivating it permanently. In this article, we will guide you through the process of deleting your Facebook account temporarily.
1. Log in to your Facebook account
The first step to deleting your Facebook account temporarily is to log in to your account. Open your web browser, go to Facebook.com, and enter your username and password to access your account.
2. Go to the ‘Settings’ section
Once you are logged in, click on the downward arrow located at the top right corner of the screen. From the dropdown menu, select ‘Settings’ to access the account settings.
3. Navigate to ‘Your Facebook Information’
In the left-hand sidebar of the Settings page, click on ‘Your Facebook Information’. This section contains various options related to your account, including deleting it temporarily.
4. Select ‘Deactivate or Delete Account’
Under the ‘Your Facebook Information’ section, you will find the ‘Deactivate or Delete Account’ option. Click on it to proceed.
5. Choose ‘Deactivate Account’
On the next page, you will see two options: ‘Deactivate Account’ and ‘Delete Account’. Select ‘Deactivate Account’ to delete your Facebook account temporarily.
6. Confirm your decision
After selecting ‘Deactivate Account’, Facebook will prompt you to confirm your decision. Click on ‘Continue’ to proceed.
7. Choose a reason for deactivating your account
Facebook will ask you to choose a reason for deactivating your account. Select the reason that best suits your situation and click on ‘Continue’.
8. Enter your password and confirm your deactivation
To ensure that you are the account owner, Facebook will ask you to enter your password. Once you have entered your password, click on ‘Confirm’.
9. Your account is now temporarily deleted
Congratulations! Your Facebook account has been successfully deleted temporarily. During this period, your profile, photos, and other information will be hidden from friends and the public. You can reactivate your account at any time by logging in with your username and password.
Remember:
– Deleting your Facebook account temporarily will not delete your data permanently. Your information will be hidden, but it may still be recoverable if you decide to reactivate your account within 30 days.
– If you choose to delete your account permanently, all your data will be deleted, and you will not be able to recover it.
– Before deleting your account temporarily, make sure to download a copy of your Facebook data, as you will not be able to access it once your account is deactivated.
By following these steps, you can easily delete your Facebook account temporarily and take a break from the digital world.
