How to Deactivate Facebook Permanently

Facebook has two methods to disable your account. One is reversible and the other is permanent.

You can shut down an account and after that later reactivate it. While it's shut down, people can't see your timeline or search for you, though some information, such as messages you sent, might still show up.

If you erase your account, it's gone permanently and also can not be reactivated. Facebook says that they "delay removal a few days after it's requested" and that a deletion request is terminated if you log back into your account throughout that duration. They additionally say that it can take up to 90 days to delete information stored in backup systems.
