First, make sure you delete the account and don’t just “disable” the account as mentioned above. Second, if they truly do delete your account, I would assume you COULD register a new account with a different name, identity etc… using the same email address.

It would be a good test actually. Keep us looped in if you give it a try!

Anybody knows that after you delete an account, can you register a new profile to facebook with the same email?

Thanks

Thanks, I just wanted a “business” page and got sucked into creating a “profile” to link to Twitter and BAM I've got a “personal social profile”. I had no interested in all that warm-and-fuzzy-human-bonding-getting-stalked-by-people-I-didn't-like-in-High-School crap but did want to use the same email and username. By Zeus they make it hard. Only 14 days to go…BTW you instructions were crystal clear and the editorial delicious. Thanks again.

you know the saying – “Nothing is free”. there's a reason Facebook, gmail, yahoo etc…. are all free services. take a little, give a little… the important part is keeping track of what your giving and to whom.

good read groovydude and good comments.

If you read the rest of the terms, it says they have backups and the data will be purged "eventually" once you delete your account (not deactivate it).

http://www.facebook.com/terms.php?ref=pf - Section 2.2
"When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others). "

I don't agree. It's my job to protect my password. If I choose a bone head password or let my PC get hacked and they delete my facebook page, hack my gmail account or get into my banking info. Shame on me. It's not the job of my Internet providers to “protect” me.

I do agree with you tho regarding bulk deletes of accounts. With 300+ million accounts, depending on how many accounts are deleted (I'm going to guess not many since it's so hard to find the delete link) that's probably something you want to batch delete.
