I rest my case.

How To Permanently Delete A Facebook Account
Here is the direct link to the official Facebook account deletion page.
Delete Facebook Share
Read the step-by-step guide for a clean, dignified exit.
A deceased member's account can be memorialized or deleted. The Facebook Account Deletion Process
Your account will be ‘deactivated’ for two weeks. After this period it will be permanently deleted.
Do not login to your account during this time. It will cancel the deletion request.
Do not be fooled into switching to a deactivation request. Deactivation is NOT deletion.
Consider an account deletion epitaph to notify friends of your departure. What Happens To Your Data?
In theory, deleting your account immediately removes all Facebook data related to you. In reality it's more complicated, taking about a month.
Allegations of complicity with National Security Agency surveillance suggest that your data may never truly be deleted.
You can still cleanse your Facebook presence for everyone else,
Delete any sensitive content that you have posted. Contact friends about content that you would like deleted.
Backup your data before deletion if you'd like a copy. Leaving Social Data Behind
As hard as you try, some personally identifiable information may remain. This could be something as simple as your name on a message.
You have little control over this or what others share about you in future. The most you can realistically do is ask your friends to respect your privacy.
Data shared with apps and advertisers is with them forever. As a Facebook user you are leaving behind a valuable personal data footprint. Enjoy Your Freedom
"‘And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that. All power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.’" — Sir John Dalberg-Acton.
We were warned many years ago, of the risks of FB, as it’s a tool for infiltrating your Hard Drive.
Nothing to do w ID theft.
Foreign agents simply takeover in the background for whatever purposes they want.
It's never really truly deleted. If you ever set up another FB account in the future, you'll notice FB will suggest "people you may know" from your previous account.
I've "permanently" deleted a few of them.
The easiest way to not has a social media account is not to get one in the first place.
I deleted my account in the past week. There were disclaimers that it actaully take a full 81-days and that you will both see or receive updates or notifications for about 2-weeks; however it takes “forever/81-days” for it fully disappear from the Internet.
Before I deleted the account, a month before, I deleted every posting all the way back to the beginning....................
That's not what this thread is about but thanks for sharing.
Good thing they dont do backups :)
A Facebook account is kinda like credit these days. You want to have one, maintain it and use very little of it.
Sure, the old men yelling at clouds here on Free Republic may admonish people who use FB with their, "I've never had a Facetweeet account! Don't need one! Gonna go yell at clouds now!" sentiments but in real life, one should not have a completely vacant social media footprint.
Why? Employers will think you are hiding something. It's best to have a FB account with a few pictures of things that make you laugh, maybe a family vacation or two, and sporadic comments about your favorite sports team or that movie that you didn't like.
If you don't have any social media presence, be prepared to explain to any future employer why and be judged accordingly. It's like saying you don't have a cell phone. It makes you look peculiar.
I have never had a fb account and yet my life goes on. I get what it’s supposed to be for but It looks like it’s been compromised so....I’ll pass thanks.

FB takes itself much too seriously.
Then I am doubly peculiar.
When I was growing up in rural Mississippi, 50’s and 60’s, we were too poor to have a telephone, and barely could afford electricity.
I am used to telling people I have no phone........................

I rest my case.
I have read that it takes about 90 days for data to be ‘obsoleted’ and removed from the system via normal back up and updating of their storage......................
Their hypocrisy and double standards is one reason I quit..................

Nobody expects people your age to maintain a FB account. No offense but not having one will be the least of your worries should you ever find yourself at a job interview. This being said, it would be a good idea to maintain one if you job-hunting.
A Millennial not having a Facebook account is going to look strange to an employer. It's going to be a flashing red light. "Will this guy be a team player or he is a loner?"
