I hear that one easy way to automatically delete your Facebook photo is to upload pornography as your main profile pic. Not the most ethical way to do it, but Facebook will delete your account for you. Just make sure to clear out all of your personal information manually before you do it.

You could try changing your password to something really simple before deleting.

Hi garfield933,

You say that you can still access your FB account with the old password.

If this is the case and you can’t get FB to delete the account. Go into your account and delete everything, Pictures, Posts, Comments, Profile information.

Go into your messages and from the actions tab choose delete messages. You will have to do this for each friend you have messaged.

Once you have deleted everything, block any friends in your list, this will remove any links between your old account and theirs. If you just unfriend them there may be some links left to your old account.

Once everything is deleted change the profile name so no one will know it was your account.

Now change the password to something long and complicated that you will not remember and deactivate what's left of the account..

Now with no personal inform the FB account is nothing to do with you anymore and with no access you can forget about it.

Like @simon mentioned, delete everything, block everyone then walk through the process of deleting your account following the steps here:

Hi Steve

I saw your link. thxs for the help really. ok.....as of now, I have deleted ALL my photos, status update, messages. so I am not suppose to "unfriend" my friends but blocked right?

but the thing that puzzled me - ok, I gone through those steps in your boxes - keying in my password and the security check word. each time I click "ok" that is when I was prompted with "wrong password"!!! argh..... why cant they simply say "cannot be delete due to blah blah blah......" rather than indicating as "wrong password" it was so misleading!!!

it is really getting my nerves

Hey guys

just a short note to say - I have managed to deactivate my FB account already!!!!! yes!!!

sharing what I have done - here's what I do

(1) instead of changing my profile name 1st - what I have done is - changed my password 1st. somehow, I had a hitch feel that FB itself had forgotten my password hence it prompted wrong password each time I keyed in.

(2) so I changed my password. then, changed my profile name. then, unclick the email to my current email and select the email "link" to FB

(3) wah-lah......finally I received an email (my initial email address) from FB that my account is deactivated!!!!!

TQ all for all the help rendered here. TQ for being here to listen to my "woes" always. now somehow I felt ease of mind that this is out from my mind now

:)

      Facebook picture not showing up correctly when I post through google+
      By Lucille Spann
      Hello,
      I used one of your How To tutorials to link my google+ page with my Facebook and twitter pages, and it's working great!
      I am having one small problem though - when I post something through google+ and it appears on Facebook, the picture associated with the post isn't my profile picture from either Facebook or Google+. It's a picture of a website logo: active.com.
      I have used active to sign up for cross county running races before, but I don't know why it would be the picture that pulls up when I am posting stuff. It only appears when I check my status updates from my phone. When I log into a computer, the picture shows up correctly.
      Because this is such a specific question, I couldn't find any help topics on it and I'm hoping you can help me!
      Thanks

      Search Facebook Ticker
      By AuntFrahn
      I know most people find the Facebook ticker aggravating, but I like it because I see some 'likes' etc that I cannot find on that person's page. Don't know why. Sometimes I notice something whizzing by and it looks interesting, but can't find it again. And, it takes SOOOOOOOOOO long to scroll through the ticker.
      My question is, how can you search the ticker?
      Thanks

      Facebook download archive alternative? It fails every time now
      By AuntFrahn
      The last time I was able to download a Facebook Archive was early January.
      Every time afterwards, I either can't get it to even state it is pending. But, if it does go pending then, I get an email hours later telling me it failed.
      I am trying an alternative called SocialSafe which I really like - BUT - it cannot retrieve all of my data. As a test, I selected my birthday 2011 to search for the known entries. They are still on Facebook, but SocialSafe cannot get at ALL of them. The people at SocialSafe say it's a glitch on Facebook's end where they allow third party apps to retrieve information.
      By the way, SocialSafe support is very good.
      As I said, I really like the app and how it presents the data. It's not just screen scraping. You can search several different ways - comments, likes, photos, captions, and more.
      But, since it cannot capture all of my history, it's not totally useful. Probably OK from here forward, though, as long as I continue with daily syncs.
      I did try a Mozilla add-on which I thought was not useful at all. That was a screen scraper and you had to navigate through just as you would on Facebook. Like I said, SocialSafe is really cool.
      Is there anything else out there like SocialSafe that is able to retrieve all of my data? I've looked and cannot find anything.
      Thanks for taking the time to read this. Hopefully you can come up with something.
