2. On the drop down menu, click on Settings
3. On the pop-up screen, click on the link at the bottom of the page that says ''Download a copy of your Facebook data

If you are done downloading, proceed with the following steps:

2. Click on Delete my account below the warning message in the middle of the page. Doing so brings up another screen
3. You will be asked to input your password
4. On the screen that pops up, type in the captcha code in the box provided. (If you can't see the code clearly, click on either Try another text or Audio captcha link below the code to generate a new one.
5. Click on OK to submit the code. At this point, if the captcha code and password were inputed correctly, another screen will pop up, if not, you will be asked to try again.
6. On the pop-up screen, click on OK to delete your account.

REMEMBER: The process of deleting your account may take Facebook at least 90days because they need to delete all your photos, videos, status updates and other data stored on their server. During this period, your account as a whole is not accessible to your Facebook friends.
