How to Delete Facebook Account Permanently

You are tired and tired of using Meta’s social media network, namely Facebook. If so, then it’s a good idea to take a break from using the platform.

In addition to uninstalling mobile device applications, one way to distance yourself from social media is to delete your Facebook account.

Of course, before you start deleting, you must know that a deleted Facebook account cannot be restored or accessed.

In addition, all posts, likes, pictures, and photos that have been posted on these social media pages will be deleted from the platform.

If you feel you have an important photo or video and want to keep it, you can download all your personal information from Facebook.

The information contains all relevant data related to your account, including photos, active sessions, chat history, IP address, facial recognition data, ads that have been clicked, and some contact names.

Before proceeding to how to delete a Facebook account, the Tekno Liputan6.com team will explain how to download your information.
