Yes, there's an option to cancel your account. I did it last year!

1)Log in to your Facebook account, and click on "Account" in the top right corner.

2)Scroll to the very bottom of the page, and click on the deactivation link.

3)Confirm your deactivation. Make sure to give a reason since it's required. Then hit "Deactivate".


Deactivating your account isn't the same as deleting it since you can re-activate your Facebook account by logging in again. This means that your profile and other personal details are still lurking on Facebook's servers somewhere. You may need to contact Facebook directly to actually delete your account.

O/T - I know it's my own fault for using the hideous site occasionally, why does Facebook ALWAYS cause my lappie to freeze and the only way out is to power the thing down?

Yes, but all she has to do is log back in as usual and its reactivated, you can't actually ever get rid of it. best thing to do is change password to something even you wont remember, i.e sadkfhwaifubawlib then deactivate it.

Or you could post the log in details onto 4chan or some other website of that ilk, and facebook will remove it for good due to the material that will get posted...
