Using my email after I've deactivated facebook?

[Charlotte Arnold]

I'm going to deactivate my facebook and create a new account. Can I use the email for the deactivated account for a new one?

no. deactivated doesnt mean deleted. everything remains there. so you cant

You will have to delete the old account first.

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. Then, if you'd like your account permanently deleted with no option for recovery, log in to your account and fill out this form.

Nope. You must permanently delete the old facebook account before using the same email address. Deactivating your facebook account means that it can be reactivated in the future.

Hi
Only deactivating will not help you out if you want to make a new facebook account with the same email id then you have to first delete your account and then only you would be able to make a new facebook account. Next thing you can do is that you can make a new email id account then make a new facebook account with that id without deleting your previous account.
