Log on.In the upper right where it says account,click on it.A drop down menu will appear.Go to account settings.Near the bottom it says deactivate account.Click on that.I have heard that they ask you up to like 3 times to confirm,just read what it says and click appropriately because they like to word f**k.Also,it may be necessary to delete photos before it lets you deactivate,at least I saw an article on TV about it but Iam not sure if it is required.So if it won't deactivate the way I mentioned,try deleting pictures you posted(if any) and deactivate again.I am seriously considering it myself due to all the same junk.They change something nearly every day.Good luck,Greg

Quit facebook acct

Permanently Close Your Facebook Account
While Facebook can make you accessible to friends and family, it may also make you fear for your privacy online.
Giving out your personal information on a site like Facebook can make you a target for identity thieves.
While you can certainly toggle your privacy settings to adjust how you share your info, you can also deactivate and delete your account so your information is no longer available.
The process can be cumbersome, but it will help you cancel your Facebook account completely.

Sign into your Facebook account normally, then click "Account" and choose "Account Settings" from the drop down menu.
Scroll to the bottom of the Account Settings page and choose "Deactivate," which is the last option available.
This will bring you to a new screen where you may send messages to your friends to let them know you're leaving Facebook.
Click the circle beside the reason you're deactivating your account, which is required.
You can choose from reasons like a temporary leave, having privacy concerns or receiving too much communication with Facebook.
You may also type added notes in the provided field.
You can also decide whether you'd still like emails from Facebook in the future.
When you're ready, click "Confirm."
Sign into Facebook and navigate to the "Delete My Account" page (See Below) if you want to remove your account and information completely from Facebook's files.
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account
While deactivated, you'll still be able to sign into your account for administrative purposes and reactivate your account.
A deactivated account will retain all information, photos and notes, but remove them from sight of other users.
Deleting your account will remove your account and information completely from the site.
Send a message via the "Delete My Account" page to let Customer Service you'd like your account removed completely.
Deactivate Your Facebook Account
There may come a time when you need to deactivate your Facebook account.
Fortunately, as with most of the social utility Web sites, closing your account with Facebook is easy.
And if you change you mind, you can always return to Facebook with a simple reactivation process.

Access the Facebook home page and log in using the email address and password you originally registered with (see Resources below).
If you've forgotten you password, click on "Log in" and follow the link to reset your password.
Head to the "My Account" page using the link from the menu.
Follow the "Click Here" link under the Deactivate Account section.
You will be taken to a short form to fill out before you close your account.
Tell Facebook why you're leaving.
Select the radio button next to the reason for deactivating your account.
There is also space to write other comments.
Opt in or out of Facebook emails.
Even if you account is deactivated, your friends can still invite you to events or ask you to join groups.
If you don't want any email from Facebook at all, check the appropriate box.
Click the "Deactivate" button. You will be taken to a page confirming your account deactivation.
Reactivate a Deleted Facebook Account
Head to the Facebook Web site to reactivate your account.
Log in to Facebook as if you'd never left. Use your original email address and password.
Check your registered email account for a confirmation email from Facebook with directions on how to reactivate your account.
Follow the link in the email.
You will be taken to your home page, which will appear exactly how you left it.
All your settings and events are intact upon reactivation.
All you have to do is start exploring again.

Why i cant open my facebook

When Facebook was founded on February 4, 2004, it defined its mission as "Giving people the power to share and make the world more open and connected." With the widespread success of this social networking website today -- more than 500 million regular users as of April 2011 -- it may meet that goal for many. When a Facebook user can no longer access an account, it can be frustrating, but there is typically a reasonable explanation.



Cookies/Cache

Facebook suggests that any user who can't access their account should clear cookies and cache on their computer as a first step. This will help remove old and unneeded files from your computer, and will sometimes help your computer to run faster, as well as allowing access to Facebook again. Once cookies and cache have been cleared, you should type "m.facebook.com" into the address bar on your computer. Avoid using any old bookmarks or links to visit Facebook for this first visit after clearing the cookies and cache.

Password Incorrect

If you attempt to log into your Facebook account with an incorrect password, you will be unable to access your account. Even if you have the correct email address, that is only half of the log-in equation, and the correct password is absolutely necessary to log into the site. If you may have entered the wrong password, enter it again, taking care to get each character correct. Passwords are case sensitive, so all capital and lowercase letters and any symbols must be entered correctly. If you have forgotten your password, you will need to click the "Forgot Your Password" link to recover your account and create a new password.

Account Closed

Facebook reserves the right to close accounts that they have determined are in violation of their terms of service. If Facebook found that your account contained inappropriate content, did not represent a real person, or violated Facebook rules in some way, the account may be closed, leaving you unable to access it. If your account was closed for one of these reasons, your login will fail and you will be provided with a link to Facebook's "Confirm Your Identity" page, where you can read about typical reasons for account closures.

Email Login Incorrect

If you have entered the incorrect email address, you will be unable to log into your Facebook account. The email address that you use to log into Facebook is case sensitive, just as your email address is. If you fail to capitalize a letter or forget to insert an underscore that is part of the email address, login will fail.

If you cannot access your Facebook account due to an incorrect email address, double checking the address for correctness prior to logging in again will resolve the issue.

Compromised Account

If account information such as your email address or password is stolen, your account may be compromised. If, for example, your account information is stolen, the person in possession of your log-in information can access your account and change the password so that you will no longer be able to get to your account. If you think this may have happened, you must access the "Compromised Account" page on Facebook and follow steps to prove your identity and secure your account.

I want to shot down a deceased person account

You have to options:

Memorializing the account: http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=deceased
You can report the account to Facebook so that it can be memorialized. Memorializing the account removes certain more sensitive information like status updates and restricts profile access to confirmed friends only. Please note that in order to protect the privacy of the deceased user, we cannot provide login information for the account to anyone. We do honor requests from close family members to close the account completely.

Removing the account:

Immediate family members may request the removal of a loved one's account. This will completely remove the account from Facebook so that no one can view it. We will not restore the account or provide information on its content unless required by law. If you are requesting a removal and are not an immediate family member of the deceased, your request will not be processed, but the account will be memorialized.


Hope this helps.
