Hello! My name is Aekta
First of all, the question that arises is - Why close a Facebook Account?

Perhaps you are bored of Facebook and not enjoying yourself there
Or maybe you get so many messages, notifications and invitations that you are fed up!
Or maybe you had created a duplicate account that you no longer use
Whatever the reason... This video is in response to that question asked by Md Sarfaraz Raja - "How to delete a Facebook Group."
