Episode description

Melisa: So, you’re ready to call it quits—How do you delete your Facebook account? And what’s the right way to do it?

Deleting Facebook isn’t as simple as clicking a button. There’s a process to follow, and you want to do it the right way to avoid leaving behind loose ends. Here’s what you need to know.

Drake: If you’re ready to say goodbye to Facebook, go to Settings > Your Facebook Information > Deactivation and Deletion. Select “Delete Account,” follow the prompts, and confirm. Remember, Facebook gives you 30 days to change your mind before it’s permanently deleted!

But before deleting it, download your facebook data and most importantly unsend some messages that you may want to later, if you know what I mean. Untag yourself, delete your comments which you think may be embarrassing. Because once you delete your account, you cannot edit or change anything what’s already inside meta fabric. So take time to clean manually what you can, and then delete it.
