Get me off of Facebook

August 8, 2012 4:21 AM

Will someone please explain to me, assuming I am a stupid 5-year old child, how to get off Facebook. "Settings" is useless. Maybe there is a trick I don't know? Thank you.

Best answer: What exactly do you mean by "get off" - log out or delete your profile?

There is a log out option in the drop windown in the upper right corner.

To delete your profile, here are instructions.

Best answer: Do you mean log out or delete/deactivate your account?

To deactivate/delete your account, the instructions are here.

To log out, click on the arrow next to the "Home" button at the top of the page and choose "Log out."

PS. if you want to delete your account, dont try and log in after whatever amount of days they say it will be deleted. They told me 21 days I waited about 23 days and it saved my account. I then deleted it and waited a couple months and it was really gone....
