Steps

   Go to Facebook's deletion page. In a web browser, navigate to https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account by typing it into the address bar and pressing ↵ Enter .

2. 2

   Click Delete My Account . It's below the warning message in the middle of the page. Clicking it invokes a pop-up window.

3. 3

   Enter your password again. You'll do so in the "Password" field at the top of the window.

   Type in the captcha code. This code is the jumble of letters and numbers in the middle of the window; you'll type your answer into the field below the code.

   • If you can't read the code, you can click either the Try another text or the an audio captcha link below the code to generate a new one.
