How to delete Facebook account without password?

There are several ways you can remove your Facebook account without a password:

• You can attempt to retrieve your password by visiting this page and following the guidelines if you still have access to the email address or phone number linked to your account.

• You can ask three of your friends to help you reset your password by using a unique URL that Facebook will give you if you don't have access to the email address or phone number but have enabled the Trusted Friends feature.

• You can attempt to report your old account as fraudulent if you don't have access to the email address, phone number, or Trusted Friends. To do this, visit the old account's profile, click the three dots in the lower right corner of the cover photo, select "Give feedback or report this profile," and select "Pretending to Be Someone" before selecting "Me."

• If none of the options listed above work, you might need to get in touch with Facebook support and give them identification documentation, like a photo ID or a birth certificate.

What happens to my data when I delete my account?

Your data is permanently erased and inaccessible when you deactivate your Facebook account. You can see all of the content you have added to Facebook, including your profile, posts, images, videos, comments, likes, tags, and more. Nonetheless, certain information—like messages or tags—that other people have posted about you can still be accessible on Facebook. Also, Facebook might not be able to remove any information you have shared via your account with unaffiliated apps or websites. Therefore, to request the deletion of your data, you might need to get in touch with those apps or websites independently.

You can get a copy of your data from Facebook settings if you would like to preserve it before deleting your account. Within 30 days of starting the deletion procedure, you can also stop it.

How do I download a copy of my Facebook data?

Here are the procedures to download a copy of your Facebook data:

• Click on your profile symbol in the top right corner of Facebook.com.

• Choose Settings, followed by Settings & Privacy.

• To download your information, go down the left navigation bar to the part labeled "Your Facebook Information" and click on it.

• To download only the precise data you want, use the checkboxes. Additionally, you can designate a range of dates for the data you want to download.

• Select "Create File." Facebook will start compiling your data file. It can take a few days to put this together.

• You'll get a notification as soon as the file is ready. To download, click Available Files.

• Whenever prompted, enter your password. Your personal information will be sent to you in a data file by Facebook.

As an alternative, you can use the mobile app to download your Facebook data. The procedures are the same, with the exception that you must hit the ☰ icon located in the lower right corner before selecting Settings & Privacy, Settings, and Download your data.

How long does it take to download my Facebook data?

Your internet connection's speed and the quantity and kind of data you have requested will determine how long it takes to get your Facebook information. Facebook claims that the process of creating your information file could take several days. When it's complete, you'll get a message. You will have four days from the time the material is ready to download to access the Available Downloads area of the Download Your Information page. Your connection speed and the file size can affect how long it takes to download a file.

Go to the Download your data tool, select the Available copies option, and see the progress of your download request. You can download or delete the file, as well as view the file's format and media quality, along with the date and time of your request.

Can I pause or cancel my download request?

Once you have started a download request, there is sadly no way to stop it or cancel it. It will take some time for the file to be ready before you can download or remove it. If you change your mind, though, you may always request a new download with different information or settings.

Can I recover my deleted Facebook account?

Depending on when you deleted your Facebook account, the answer varies. You can get your account back by doing the following if you deleted it in the last 30 days:

• Enter the phone number or email address connected to your account on the "Find Your Account" page by clicking this link.

• To reset your password and access your account, follow the on-screen instructions.

• Please confirm that you wish to keep your account by clicking Cancel Deletion.

• You won't be allowed to retrieve your account if it was removed more than 30 days ago or if it was deleted permanently. If you wish to use Facebook again, you will have to register a new account because your data will be removed from Facebook's servers.

What is the difference between deactivating and deleting my account?

Deactivating your Facebook account is a one-time move, whereas deleting it is a permanent one. This is the difference between the two.

• Users cannot access your profile, posts, images, or other data when you deactivate your account. However, you may always log back in to reactivate your account at any time. Nonetheless, certain data, including the messages you exchanged, can still be accessible to other people. Your ability to access Meta Quest materials and products is also impacted by deactivating your account.

• Your profile, posts, images, and other data are permanently removed from Facebook's servers when you delete your account, and you are unable to retrieve it. You will also forfeit your Meta Quest data, which includes your accomplishments and app purchases.

• Your profile, posts, images, and other data are permanently removed from Facebook's servers when you delete your account, and you are unable to retrieve it.

To request the erasure of your data, you might also need to get in touch with any third-party apps or websites that you have logged into using your Facebook account.
