How do I close my facebook account ?

[littleredms]

I did it this way:

To permanently delete your account:

•Click on Help at the bottom of any Facebook page.
•Search for “delete account” in the search box underneath the Help Center heading.
•Click on the “I want to permanently delete my account” link and read the 2 paragraphs there.

•Click on the link at the end of the last paragraph, read what’s there and then click the “Submit” button.

[Edit- And even if you do all this, Facebook still holds everything for a 2-week period of time in case you change your mind.
If you decide you DON'T really want your account deleted, just sign in at any point during the 2-week waiting period & your account will still be there.]
