Cancel My Facebook: While Facebook remains is a useful handy tool for keeping in touch with families, friends, events organization, etc..., we should also keep in mind that it has become bigger and far too powerful than the small social site many of us originally signed up to. As such, if you feel like quitting Facebook, the decision is solely yours especially if you don't know your way around some basic Facebook settings.

Howbeit, for many, it’s simply a colossal waste of time.
Regardless of why you want to cut ties with Facebook, here’s how to deactivate and delete your account now.
Deactivate
Unless you’re absolutely sure you want to get rid of your Facebook account once and for all, we’d recommend going down the deactivation route.
Deactivating your account hides your profile from friends and search, but allows you to resurrect your account – complete with friends, updates, pictures and Likes – if you ever decide to return, simply by entering your login information.
To deactivate your Facebook account:
Click the downwards-pointing arrow in the top-right corner of the screen
Select Settings
Open the Security section
Choose the Deactivate Your Account option at the bottom of the menu
Delete Facebook NowDeleting your account is a major step, so think it through before committing. Facebook can take up to 90 days to process account deletion requests, but once your account's gone, it’s gone.
Before taking the plunge, it’s well worth downloading a copy of the data Facebook has on you.
To do this:
Click the downwards-pointing arrow in the top-right corner of the screen
Select Download a copy of your Facebook data
Once that’s done, you’re ready to delete your account. Bear in mind, however, that your sent messages will continue to exist even when all other traces of your account are gone.
To permanently delete your Facebook account:
Head to Facebook’s Delete Account page: https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account
Select Delete My Account
