OR you became tired of using facebook, getting threats, annoying friends, maybe you don’t feel safe on Facebook, so finally you decided to come over the addiction of the Facebook and want to live in a normal real life rather than a virtual fake and bragging life on facebook, that’s why many users are looking a way to delete facebook account.

Why I Deleted My Facebook Account Once & Why should You

At one point of time I was also a big addict of Facebook, I was so used to facebook that it was like ‘Facebook before face wash’, getting long friend list, hundreds of like, posting everything where I go, what I eat, wasting time to edit the photos, liking, commenting, chatting to the unknown virtual friends and arguing over the facebook posts, possibly I was faking a great life on Facebook.

But what I got in return? Likes, virtual friends but where I will invest those likes which I got by wasting 6-7 hours a day.

I was addicted of facebook for 3 years, now let’s calculate –  6 hours a day for 3 years.  6*(365*3) = 6570 Hours which is almost 6570/24= 273 days. Let’s remove 23 days (Maybe internet was down :P) now a rough figure is 250 days.

What ?? I wasted almost 8 months on Facebook in 3 years and got nothing in return.

This was an alarming situation for me, I should focus on my career and live a real life, finally with heavy heart and fear of being alone I decided to delete my facebook account.

I just created a backup of all data a deleted facebook account permanently and went for a vacation enjoyed a lot but this time, I didn’t put anything on Facebook.

What I felt Without Facebook

But after coming back I felt disconnected to the world since I was also missing the important news and info, so after few days again I created a new account but this time I limited  friend list to my friends, family, and well-known persons, liked interesting pages and mainly focused on getting profit by using the Facebook.

One can’t deny the fact that facebook is a big source of information and powerful tool to bring the changes around the world if you are using it in the right way.

Now I use facebook as a daily magazine to stay updated with what’s going on around the world and other useful information. I am not a greedy of likes and do not argue on posts anymore.

You can also restrict your usages for Facebook to overcome this problem.

Or if you are too serious about your time and don’t get any benefit from Facebook then you may consider deleting your Facebook account permanently.

How to Delete Facebook Account Permanently

Facebook doesn’t have any option to delete your account under the settings, all you can do is to deactivate the account but whenever you login back it will get activated again. To delete facebook account permanently follow the below steps.

Log in to the Facebook account which you want to delete.

Go to drop down Menu > Settings. 

After that, download your Facebook data, and Facebook will send all the data to your email address.

It will ask for confirmation, be strong and click on Confirm deletion.

You may need to enter the password again, and it ‘ll show you that your account has been scheduled for deletion.

Now you have 14 days to cancel the permanent deletion of your facebook account.

During this time span, you can cancel the deletion by simply logging back into the account.

If you are deleting a fake Facebook account then you are going good but if you are about to delete your actual Facebook account I will suggest not to delete but limit your usages for Facebook and use it the right way to get good information and stay updated with the world.

This was my view on how facebook is responsible for wasting our precious time and the reason to delete the facebook account.
