On Facebook, is deactivating your account the same as deleting it?

-What is the difference and how do I do it?Their Deactivating Your Account Mean's

You Won't Be Able To Use Your Account and other People Can't Find or See You. But Your Still Registed On Facebook.



If Your Account is Deleted Then Facebook Won't Have You Registed. And You Can Make An Account Again.There is difference between the two



Facebook, deactivating the account will temporarily hide your information. Deactivating means that Facebook retains your profile information (friends, photos, etc.) but you have disappeared from the Facebook service.However, if you want to permanently remove your information, the 'permanent delete' option is much harder to find.



Facebook homepage------>Help------>In help center,type 'delete facebook'----->Then select permanent account deletion by drop down------>you will see account deletion page,submit it------>enter some info like email id, password and Captcha code



This whole process will take 14 days to get complete. Do not log in your account in these 14 days.

Do not click the Facebook "Share" or "Like" button on any site you visit.



If your mind changes at any moment, just log in your account,your account will reactivate.
No. Deleting your account means it's gone forever. Deactivating your account kinda means like you're deleting it temperarily. But you can always activate it again. I believe you can do this either in your facebook settings or the bottom left of your profile page.
Deactivating account on facebook is not the same as deleting it. Deleting account will remove it from facebook permanently. But deactivating account allows you to return back on facebook with the same account by simply login with same user name and password and reactivating your account.
If you deactivated your account it's like you removed yourself from Facebook. No one can over find you account unless you activate it again. So if you deactivated it, don't log in to it ever again.
No, when you deactivate the account, you can reactivate it at any time, and start off where you left off. Go to the privacy settings or account management.
When you deactivate it, it won't be permanently deleted. If you decide to go back to your account, you can login if you want.
Basically.



You're deleting it but if you want it back, you can just log in and it will reactivate it. Just go to account settings and you'll see it from there.

no, deleting it means you can't access it again. deactivating it will mean that it is still there and you can still use it when you want to. :)
Not the same..deactivating means temporarily deleted but you can activate again whenever you want while deleting is gone forever.
Nope.

Deactivating is like sleeping.

Deleting is like dying.

and reactivate it
Almost- except deactivating your account means it's still there, just empty and unusable.
