To delete a Facebook account in 2025, the process is straightforward and can be done via a web browser or the Facebook mobile app by accessing the "Accounts Center" menu. Key steps include navigating to "Account ownership and control," selecting "Deactivation or deletion," choosing "Delete account," and then confirming the deletion by following on-screen instructions. Facebook also recommends backing up personal data before deletion, as the removal is permanent and includes all associated pages, posts, and Messenger history.

1. Access the "Accounts Center" by clicking on the profile icon, then "Settings & privacy," "Settings," followed by "Accounts Center."
2. Choose "Personal details," then "Account ownership and control."

Important Notes

• Backup your Facebook data (photos, videos, posts) before deletion if you want to keep a copy.
• Deleting your account is permanent; you will lose access to all content and Messenger conversations.
• If unsure, you can choose to deactivate the account instead, which is reversible.

This process generally takes just a few minutes to complete whether on desktop or mobile app.
