You may deactivate your Facebook account temporarily if you don’t want to completely remove it (too many memories, I know). It’s referred to as a “super-logoff,” and it was a trick used by early privacy concerned individuals when they departed the site.
A Facebook user has the option of keeping her account deactivated for as long as she wants. But if a person wants to make a clean break with Facebook, she may permanently terminate her membership.
When you cancel your account, Facebook keeps all of your preferences, photos, and information on hand in case you decide to reactivate it. Your data is not completely erased; it’s merely hidden. However, permanently deleting your account does not provide a recovery option.
