can you create a new facebook account after you delete it?

[R539]

I want to delete (not deactivate) my fb account and start all over, brand new with a new account. Is this possible? Can u use the email address as before?

i know that once it's deleted, all ur likes, comments, etc. disappear. do they reappear if u open a new account, or do u just start from scratch? it's a new account but it's still the same person so....does ur old activity come back?

you completely start from scratch
when you deactivate, your information is still stored, but when you delete your account, all information related to you is deleted
so if you were tagged in a frnds photo, instead of a link, there would only be normal text.....

so nothing will be the same ever again
