 Hello, this is Amit Dan of AmitDan.com. Today I'll have another episode of Internet Tips and tricks video and I'll talk about how to delete your Facebook account. So if you have come to the point where you'd like to get rid of your Facebook account, in this video I'll give you instructions for both using your Facebook application on your cell phone or mobile phone and or using your desktop computer or laptop computer. So the process to delete or deactivate Facebook account are very similar. So I'm going to talk about both of them. So the difference between deactivation and deletion is that when you deactivate the account then that's a temporary solution. It's kind of temporary deletion and then you cannot search or see your profile or anything and then your account is saved. You know it's not gone and your messages you can see or other people can see your messages. So that's still you know valid but this is just like you know for those who would like to temporarily get rid of Facebook and at one point they'd like to come back to Facebook. But the deletion is a permanent solution. So if you delete and then you know it will be gone but there is a time frame which is I believe 30 days and if you just like you know log back into your Facebook account after deletion within 30 days then you still have the account. So if you don't want the Facebook account don't log back in after deleting within 30 days. So the first one I'm going to show you is on your phone and here are the instructions if you'd like to just like you know take a quick look at it and this is based on Android phone. So you have to click on the top right where you will see three bars and then you're going to go to settings and privacy and then from there you're going to go to settings and then your Facebook information and then your account ownership and control and then from your account from their account reactivation and deletion. So let's start here. So this is your phone and let's say you're going to go where your Facebook or all apps are located. So for this phone this is going to be right here. So I'm just going to click on it. You can see that this is your main Facebook screen when you open the app. So you're going to go on the top right you'll see like you know kind of three bars which is right here. So I'll just bring it a little bit closer so if you just you know click on it. So from here you're going to see settings and privacy. You have to just you know scroll down a little bit and if you just keep going down then you're going to see here settings and privacy. So just click on it and then here you're going to see settings again which is right here. So if you just click on it. Now you're going to see a bunch of like you know our sections under Facebook information you're going to see account ownership and control and you're going to have to click on here. But before you do that I'd like to mention that it is a good idea to save your or download your information which you can do from here. So if you just click on here it's going to let you like you know download and save all your information and you have the option to select what actually you'd like to download and save. This is for later purposes. Let's say if you want to like you know reactivate or open up a Facebook again or if you can transfer your information to other services. So it's always a good idea to download your information and save it before you do that. Okay so let's say to delete then you're going to click on account ownership and control and if you do that then here you're going to see deactivation and delete and if you just click on here. Now here you're presented with two options. So one is deactivate account and one is delete account. So I mentioned you that you know deactivation is kind of like you know temporary deletion. Your profile will be disabled and your photos name will be removed but you can just reactivate later on if you choose this option. But if you want to get rid of Facebook permanently then here is the delete account section and so you just click on it and then you continue to account deletion. So basically that's it from here. Now I'm going to show you the same process on a desktop computer or on a laptop card. So basically you're gonna have to go to top right on your desktop and where you're gonna see is icon like this and then you're going to go to settings. Your Facebook information which is going to be top left deactivation and deletion and download the information. So these are the instructions for desktop but I'll take it to desktop shortly and then just a last note that you know do not log back in after deletion otherwise you know your Facebook account is going to be will not be cancelled and then once you delete your account is going to be gone forever but your data can take up to 90 days to delete completely. So basically those that's all the instructions. So now let's go to desktop. To inactivate or delete your Facebook account from a desktop computer or any laptop computer or on a website or web page so you have to go to facebook.com and then your profile page and then once you go there you're going to see on the top right or upper right corner there's like you know icon like this so you're going to just click on that and then from here you're going to go to settings which is right here and then it will take you to a different page and then if you look on this page then look on the upper left corner and you'll see your Facebook information which is right here. So if you just you know click on here then it's going to bring it to another page and here you're going to see that you know deactivation and deletion and before you go to clicking on that don't forget to download your information if you you know need that sometime later on or in the future then you can do that by going here but if you don't need to do that then just you know click click on deactivation and deletion and then once you're here then you're going to be presented with the options you want either deactivate or permanently delete. So the process is slightly different than your cell phone or mobile phone app but they're very similar so basically that's how you delete and or deactivate your Facebook account.
