If you face any problem in deleting your facebookbook account you can contant me by commenting below. I check every single comment of my blog.
I REPEAT: Your profile isn’t deleted right away! You must NOT log in to, or interact in any other way with Facebook for at least two weeks, as it will cancel the deletion request. That includes NOT logging in to Facebook using any client (like the iPhone app or IM:s like Pidgin), NOT clicking embedded Like-buttons on other websites, NOT logging in to other services using Facebook Connect (like Digg) etc etc. While your’re at it, delete all your browsing/forms history and cookies as well, to minimize the risk of accidentally using your account!

When account is disabled, does it get removed from Facebook search? My friend is going to the job interview and she is considering deleting her profile altogether, just to keep her privacy.
When account is disabled most probably it will not turn up in search. You can give it a try before going to interview. Good Luck
I don’t know where to comment about this, a bit off topic. Anyway I went thru a couple of your posts and found some grammatical errors. Take care of that, your blog looks very professional thumbs up for that
Here’s an example
“So in Order follow these steps to et indexed quickly:”
Thank you very much for telling that I would keep that in mind. It’s just human typing error next time I will do spell and grammer check before posting. Thanks again for your review.
Yeah. This was a big deal a little bit ago. I think Facebook will continue to mis-step like this because they simply have to find a way to make money. The users have this unbelievable expectation that the service can remain free forever. But it is a for-profit business people.
You rock. Rick
Aditya thanks for sharing to “how to delete facebook account?” but if i want to again activate my temporarily deactivate acccount then what is the process? Thanks in advance.
Go to the same place and click on activate your facebook account. I hope it will be done then.
Thanks Aditya! I will try it! Hope it will work.
I cannot delete my account:
When I type in my password and the captcha it says always “Password/Captcha Incorrect. Try again”.
But when I login/logout with my password, it works.
I tried both with Opera and IE browser. JavaScript is turned on.
I have also not found a mail address for support on facebook.
What can I do?
Follow the steps below -
1. Click on Delete my Facebook Account
2. This will ask you to confirm your deletation.
3. Once confirment, it will delete your facebook profile forever.
I got the same problem my friend I type in the correct password but it always say that the password I typed was incorrect!What am i doing wrong???
Axl are you sure you are putting right password in? I should work I don’t know why it is causing problem. You should contact face book people now to resolve this issue.
ohhh nice info
I’m getting the same problem with deleting my Facebook account.
I’ve tried several times and I enter the password associated with the account and the captcha. Each time I get an error, that password or captcha was wrong.
This is crazy! Why isn’t this working? Anyone have a work around?
I’m questioning how you delete other people’s accounts? Not as a deceptive and evil way, but what if someone dies and the family wants their facebook profile removed?
I’m desperately trying to delete my facebook account but I’m not sure what password it is asking for after I hit the submit button. Is it the password for my facebook account?
I’m having same problem, i’m trying to permanently delete my account and i’m
sure that i’m using the right password but it always says “Password/Captcha Incorrect” dont know what to do.
It think it’s a Bug of facebook because that many people can’t be wrong. Final thing we can do is contact the support or help in the facebook for solution.
Guys,
I may be your savior
Nice blog Aditya. I stumbled upon your blog looking for captcha incorrect in facebook delete page.
Here is the deal. After frustrating *several* attempts “Password/captcha incorrect. Try again” to delete my facebook account, I tested logging in and logging out (on a different tab of the same browser (FF3). I could login without any problem Patrick above says.
When this went on forever, I decided to atleast Deactivate it (which I had not done earlier). I cancelled the captcha incorrect popup and on the screen, logged in. Once I logged in, the same ‘Do you really want to delete your account?’ screen came up. I did everything and it worked like a charm. They say it will be deleted in 14 days. Lets see.
Make sure you are logged in when you hit the link Aditya has given above.
Hope this helps!

how to delete facebook account and email…i wan regester a new
Just deleted my account using T’s suggestion. I had tried to delete it multiple times but always got the password incorrect thing. Just had to log in (which reactivated my long-deactivated account) and then go through the delete process using the link above. Success!
No, it does not work. You are forever in the loop of either password incorrect or kapcha incorrect. Unreal. Who would have thought that you couldn’t delete your profile if YOU want to.
My facebook got hacked into and they changed the email and password for it, so i cant log in and i want to delete that account really bad because they’re pretending to be me and talk to my friends so how do i delete ti without logging in?
Thank you so much!!(:
If a ‘good’ freind set up your account using your correct eMail address without telling you the password then ask for a New Password (forgot password) usinf the Login screen. Define a new password – then the account is yours and ready for delete.
