Whatever the reasons, it’s obvious some no longer trust the internet giant as I seem to keep hearing the same question over and over again:

“Is it possible to delete my facebook account?”

and

“I managed to deactivate it so it’s deleted right?”.

You would think the answer would be fairly straightforward however I have to admit, it took quite a bit of digging to come up with the answers surrounding account / profile deactivation and full blown account removal from the service.

After doing the research and walking through the deceptive complex process, it was very apparent that Facebook has done their very best to prevent its customers from leaving their service thus limiting the amount of customer data being scrubbed from their service.
