If you'd like to permanently delete your Facebook account,
then stay tuned, watch this video,
as I show you how.
Hi, there, David Walsh here once again
from davidwalshonline.com,
your place to grow your business using YouTube.
Now if you'd like to permanently delete
your Facebook account, then I'm gonna show you
in this video.
But before we do, if this is your first time here,
make sure to hit the Subscribe button
and also the notification bell to be notified
every time we upload a video to this channel.
So you want to delete your Facebook account.
Whether it is you don't like Zuckerberg stalking
your every move, whether you don't want them selling
your data, or whether it's because the Facebook app
is listening to all your conversations
and is then spookily sending you ads based
on what you've said.
Now Facebook doesn't want you to leave,
and that's why they hide these settings away from you,
but by law they have to.
So, let's head on over to the trusted computer,
as I show you how to delete
your Facebook account permanently.
Okay, so, the first thing we need to do
is actually go up to the Quick Help icon here on Facebook
when you're logged in.
So if we click on that and then type in permanently,
and what you'll get is how do I permanently delete
my Facebook account.
Facebook tried to hide this, but they have to give
you the information, so, when you know where to look,
they will give it to you.
So, they give you information what happens
when you permanently delete your account,
what if you don't want to permanently delete it
but would like just to take a break.
So if you do want to temporarily deactivate your account,
click on this link here.
Now, when you get down to how do I permanently delete
my account, they also give you a link to download
a copy of all your information.
This is very important.
Because it gives you all your posts,
all your images, all your videos, everything you've uploaded
and much more.
So why don't we look at this.
So we have our information here, so we'll see posts,
posts and videos, photos, comments,
all of this information here.
You can then download that, and you can then also get
a copy of your media, which is your photos, et cetera.
Then it'll create a file, send you that link
to download, and then you can download
all your information from there.
So when you want to permanently delete your account,
follow the instructions here, which is click on
the triangle here, go to Settings,
go to the left-hand side where it says
Your Facebook Information, click on that,
and you can also download your information here.
And at the bottom, you have the link here,
delete your account and information.
So if you click on that.
So again, they give you the option to deactivate
your account, you can download your information,
you can edit page admin settings as well.
You can also manage your apps.
But if you want to just delete it, click on Delete Account,
enter in your password, and click on Continue.
The information here will tell you that you have 30 days
to cancel the deletion of your account,
and then after 30 days, all the information
and your account will be permanently deleted,
and you won't be able to retrieve your information.
Now it can take up to 90 days for all the content
to be deleted from Facebook.
But once you initiate the deletion of your account,
you'll be totally hidden from Facebook altogether.
Everything will be taken off.
Then they'll take up to 90 days to delete your content.
But if you do want to just take a break
and temporarily deactivate your account,
click in this link here.
You can hide yourself from Facebook and keep all
your data on there.
So there you go, that's how you permanently delete
your Facebook account.
Before you do, make sure to have a look at those apps
because those apps still contain data
that you've put in there over time,
and they can still use it.
So delete the apps before you delete your account
so that all your data is deleted.
Now I'd love to know why you want to delete
your Facebook account, whether it is Zuckerberg
is outside your house, or you just don't want them
selling your data.
Let me know in the old comments area below.
I'd love to know your reason why.
And as always, if you've got a question about this
or anything else to do with YouTube,

and I'll do the best I can to help you
get that question answered.
