Canceling FaceBook

[Jumpmaster]

How does one go about cancelling a FaceBook account?

[Jumpmaster]

Opened account during weak moment, now I want my stuff off their site. How can I do this?

[Revolting cat!]

Jump, master!

[nascarnation]

Everybody needs a fake account to get their daily talking points from folks like Cain and Palin.

Just change the name to an alias, switch to a throwaway email addy, and rock on.

it never goes away...You can delete your account...2 years later sign your name and password you had in the box and it will ALL come back..I know i tried it...

[Logical me]

Try: https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account

This should do something, but never used yet.

[Future Snake Eater]

You can’t. They own your data now, though you can shut down your account.

[ilovesarah2012]

I use FB to annoy liberals. I am “friends” with Think Progress and I drive them crazy. Get called all sorts of names. Their followers really are stupid.

I don’t think that is very difficult, although I never needed to.

However: how to you uncontact a contact on linkedin?

[rawcatslyentist]

Change all you profile info to ....... just dots.

It isn't your stuff. When you put it on Facebook, it becomes their stuff, and they can do with it whatever they want to.

Forever!

Try Googling "cancel facebook account"

Facebook is like the Hotel California:

You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

As others have said, you simply can not delete it. You can make it “inactive” but all your information, and everything posted to it, exists until the next comet to kill the dinosaurs hits the Earth.

[umgud]

Find out what FB policies would cause them to run you off, then do it.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Wave your hand over the computer while saying, “I divorce you,” three times.

[napscoordinator]

You can’t....lol. I have a Facebook account and love it. You should just enjoy it because it never goes away....seriously. At least if you keep it, you can control it.

[Ditter]

I've got some problems but Facebook isn't one of them, I have never been tempted to sign up.

[RandallFlagg]

I use Facebook exclusively to allow me to be able to log onto local news sites and comment on their anti-conservative/anti-gun bias.

And I get a lot of people, “Liking,” my commentary.

It’s the only thing I use it for.

[Future Snake Eater]

That’s a good idea. I annoy liberals for a hobby on FB, too. Good times.

[Lucky9teen]

thanx for the laugh...

[My hearts in London - Everett]

You can’t. You’re doomed to haunt the search pages of Facebook forever even after you deactivate. Facebook never gives up it’s deactivated.

You better try before your data gets migrated to a Gov't-sponsored site:

Tried this.

[Colonel_Flagg]

However: how to you uncontact a contact on linkedin?

From your 'contacts' menu, choose 'connections'. Your contacts will show up with a check box next to their names. Select the one you want to uncontact and when you check the box, a second menu will show up at the right. One of the options will be to delete the contact.

Absolutely correct... The only way is make it spam so you don't see it.

It’s just like getting rid of Herpes!

Find out which of the 5 thousand servers your information is on. Break into the building and smash that server. While your at it, smash a few hundred more.

[Wagonboy]

How did you figure out how to post here?

[Lazamataz]

[carriage_hill]

Mine doesn’t. The phony data might still exist on their phony-baloney books (83 million ghost users), but the account I deleted 3yrs ago is publicly gone. Former name/password get zero result, except an offer to “sign-up for an account”.

[Bon mots]

Delete all your pics, delete all your posts, then change your FB name. Start putting up fake posts, fake pics, fake locations to muddy the water and leave the account up.

When you change your FB name, be creative... Something like
Ben Dover, Mike Hawk, Mike Hunt, York Hunt, Hugh G. Rection...

[ThePatriotsFlag]

I got rid of it 3 years ago... Just this week it sent me an email that “friends” were waiting to hear from me. :-)

[carriage_hill]

Yikes. I haven’t heard a thing from FarceButt since I canceled and bailed. I must have gotten out just “under the radar”.

[Vide]

Phil McCavity? (Ben Dover’s “spouse”.)

[Las Vegas Dave]

Bookmarked for later use...!

Post 'Mark Zuckerberg is a fag.' on your wall every day, until you get banned?

ditto.

The really strange thing is why would any one want to join FB?

[bicyclerepair]

I never heard of FB until 1/09 when I joined the local TEA party and they urged me to get connected.

100% of the stuff I see on FB is from them.
