Do you want to wipe out Facebook profile completely of its existence? There could be number of reasons to delete Facebook profile: tired of Facebook (get a break), clean start with new account and so on. By default, you can deactivate Facebook account and there is no visible option to delete Facebook profile.
Deactivate Facebook account
1. Goto Facebook.com & login into your account.
2. Click Settings > Account Settings
3. Scroll down to click “Deactivate” option at bottom.
Note – Even after you deactivate, your friends can still invite you to events, tag you in photos, or ask you to join groups. If you opt out, you will NOT receive these email invitations and notifications from your friends. Deactivate will put your Facebook profile in dormant state.
Delete Facebook account
If you want to permanently delete Facebook account, open delete account webpage and then login into your Facebook account. You will see following notice with “Submit” and “Cancel” buttons.
“… If you do not think you will use Facebook again and would like your account deleted, we can take care of this for you. Keep in mind that you will not be able to reactivate your account or retrieve any of the content or information you have added. If you would like your account deleted, then click “Submit.”
Click Submit button to delete your Facebook account. Once account is deleted, it cannot be recovered in any way. So be careful, you can chose to deactivate account instead of deleting it.
please save me to remove timeline on my fb account. i hate it
i found out that my 15 yrs old daughter have a FB account,as a parent what can I do to to controll over it?
Hi mom :)
Facebook allows anyone over the age of 13 to have an account. From one mom to another – in our house the rule is that the kids have to give me their Facebook passwords until they are 18, and they have to have me as a friend that can see everything that is going on with their account.
If I attempt to log in and the password is changed then they will log in and I will change the password to something only I know and they have lost their privileges for a certain amount of time. Also if they are not being appropriate on Facebook there are similar consequences.
By being involved with their on-line life I have had the opportunity to comment on posts that their friends have made or that they have been involved with and help them understand that the same etiquette that I expect from the in person is what will be expected on-line.
It has worked really well for us.
p.s. you are only allowed one account per person so if they create a second account after you have revoked their access you can report it as a duplicate to Facebook and have it shut down. I have informed my kids of this as well so that hasn’t happened.
Thanks for this. I hate the new timeline/profile too. Just deactivated; hope it works.

I can not believe that of all the programs in the world that facebook cannot be changed back to the previous version.
