Step
Step 1. Visit the Facebook deletion page
In a web browser, visit by typing the URL into the address bar and pressing Enter.
If you are not logged into your account automatically, enter email address or phone number and password account, then click Login ("Enter"). It's a blue button in the middle of the page.

This code is a series of letters and numbers arranged randomly and displayed in the center of the window. Type your answer into the field below the code.
If you can't read the code, you can click the link “ Try another text ” (“Try another text”) or “ an audio captcha ” (“Audio Captcha”) below the code to display the new code.
