How to partially deactivate my Facebook account in 2019
When deleting our user account from Mark Zuckerberg's social network, the application offers us two options: deactivate or delete. With the first one, we can recover our profile if we wish at any time without losing any type of information (photos, friends, comments, etc.) and Facebook Messenger will remain active if we have it installed on our mobile. Doing it from the application is very simple.
To do this, once we are in our feed, we will click on the hamburger menu on the top bar of the application and we will go to the Settings option in the Settings and privacy section.
When we are in this section we will give the option of Personal information and a series of options similar to those that we can see below will appear:
At this point, we will click on Manage account to proceed to deactivate the profile.
Finally, we will click on Account and on the Deactivate option to disable our account for as long as we want.
If we wish, we can activate the different options of the application to stop receiving emails from Facebook or delete the applications associated with our profile, among many other options.
How to permanently delete my Facebook account forever in 2019
In the event that we want to delete a Facebook account forever and permanently, the process to follow will be very similar to the one we just explained in the previous step.
Starting from the Settings section within Settings and privacy, we will have to go to the Ownership and control of the account subsection within Security to proceed with the total elimination of the profile in question.
When we click on it, we will give the option to deactivate and delete the account and finally to Delete the account.
At this point it is very important that we have previously deleted all the applications associated with our Facebook account because they can interfere with the deletion process.
To do this, it is best to go back to the Applications and websites section within Security and deactivate all applications, websites and games in the homonymous section.
Once we have made sure that we have removed access to them, the removal process will begin. In the event that we want to reverse it, we can do so by accessing our account with our username and password for the next 30 days after the request.
After those 30 days of margin, our account will be deleted forever and we will not be able to recover it by any other means. In this article published in the Facebook Help section, they show how to download all the information from our profile to keep photographs, conversations and publications of our profile.
