What happens after I delete my Facebook acccount?

[MUFC 4EVER]

I asked this question earlier but I was not as clear as I should have been. Basically once deleted (not deactivated), am I now completely off the site, and after 14 days permanently deleted.

I ask this because someone told me when I delete I will show as a grey sillohuette in my friends list? Someone else said no your completely gone, your name and all is not on any friends list.

What one is it. For example I saw one of my friends a few weeks ago and he showed as a grey silohuette in my list, and it gave me choice to unfriend if I wanted to. I never as he is a friend, but does that just mean he deactivated his account, and not deleted it.

Once I delete my account, do I show as grey figure like this, or am I completely gone so at least my friends would know I had decided to delete my account. Am hearing so many different things lol

Your facebook account is never really deleted.
Facebook retains them for a long time.

Just Stop using it and get your normal life back.

If you delete it then it's deleted but if you deactivate it then you'll just have a grey silhouette and nobody can click on your name to go on your page as it's been deactivated.

I tried to delete my Facebook. I didn't work though it just deactivated it I think Facebook never really let's you go. Prob best to deactivate it then you know your name won't show up at all
