How do I deactivate or erase my facebook account?

[rick c]

I am so sick of people contacting me through facebook, when they can just as easily send me a private e-mail or pick up the damned phone. I want to never ever be seen through facebook again!

the deactivation will take control and your account will be deleted soon.

I did this just yesterday! Go into your facebook account and somewhere, (sorry I forget exactly where), there is the provision to cancel your account. Facebook will not let you do it straight away, they put the account on hold for a few days and if you do not access the account, it is then closed. I did it for exactly the same reasons as you!
