Yasmine no longer wants to use your Facebook and she wants all her information to be removed from the platform. How can she do this?

Answer 1

If Yasmine wants to delete her Facebook account and remove her information from the platform, she can follow these steps:

1. Log into Facebook: She should log into her Facebook account using her email and password.

2. Access Settings: Click on the downward-facing arrow in the top right corner of the page to open the menu, then select "Settings & Privacy," and then click on "Settings."

3. Your Facebook Information: On the left side of the settings page, select “Your Facebook Information.”

4. Deactivation and Deletion: Look for the option labeled “Deactivation and Deletion.” Click on it.

5. Delete Account: Choose “Permanently Delete Account,” and then click “Continue to Account Deletion.”

6. Follow the Prompts: Facebook will provide information about what deleting the account means and may also offer options to download her information before deletion. If she wants to proceed, she needs to follow the prompts and confirm her decision.

7. Final Verification: Facebook may ask for her password to confirm the deletion request. After entering her password, she can finalize the account deletion process.

8. Deletion Timeline: Facebook states that it typically takes a few days to complete the deletion, and her data may still be visible to others during this time. After the account is fully deleted, her information should be removed from Facebook.

It’s important for Yasmine to note that once the account is deleted, it cannot be reactivated, and she will lose access to all her data, including photos, posts, and messages.
