Are you sick and tired of Facebook? Here’s how to get rid of your account for good.
Start by going to this link: https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account
You’ll see options for simply deactivating your account and warning if you an administrator of a group or page. If you want to get rid of the account, click on Delete account and confirm that you actually want to delete.

If you aren’t sure you’d like to get rid of it permanently, you can just deactivate your account That puts a pause on things, but you don’t lose all your photos and posts and you have the option of reactivating.
You’ll reactivate your account the next time you try to log in.
That’s the problem I’m stuck with: I despise Facebook and want to delete it completely! However, until I can find a suitable replacement for the Messenger app (which is part of the Facebook account), I can only deactivate it. If I delete the account, I lose contact with everyone on Messenger, as it’s gone, too. I’m not at the point yet that I can cut those lines of communication.
