If you deactivate your account, your timeline disappears from the Facebook service immediately. People on Facebook won't be able to search for you, though some info, like messages you sent, may still be visible to others. We also save your timeline information (ex: friends, photos, interests, etc.) in case you want to come back.
If you don't think you'll use Facebook again, you can request to have your account permanently deleted. Please keep in mind that you won't be able to reactivate your account or retrieve any of the content or information you've added. Before you do this, you may want to download a copy of your info from Facebook.
If you can't log in to your account, you'll need to reset your password first. To do this, go to http://www.facebook.com and click the Forgot your password? link below the password field. Once you’ve followed the instructions to reset your password and can log into your account, you can deactivate or delete your account using the steps outlined above.

Click the account menu, the arrow in the upper right corner of your screen. Then, choose Account Settings, Security, and click on "Deactivate Account".
Keep in mind your account will still be active for a week before it's deleted, but nobody will be able to see your account unless you log back in, in which case you would have to deactivate it again. It takes a week in order for you account to be deleted. So exactly one week after it's deactivated, it will be permanently deleted.
