Deactivating an account doesn't remove the account. The account will always be associated with that e-mail address and you can't create a new account with the e-mail. Facebook doesn't offer an easy way to delete an account. They do have a link, but you have to really search the site to find it, so (to make it easy for you) here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php...te_account

I don't if you'll be able to create a new account on the e-mail address after deleting the old account, but I know you can't after deactivating, so it's worth a try.
