🧹 How to Quickly Delete Your Facebook Account (2025)

Tired of Facebook and want out — fast?

Sure, Facebook has its own help page on how to delete your account, but let’s be honest:
It’s long-winded, buried in endless settings, and has zero screenshots. Classic Meta style: say a lot, show nothing.

So we’ve made this guide to get you to the actual deletion screen in just a few taps — no endless clicking, no guesswork.

📱 Use the Fastest Method First: Search (on Mobile)

The fastest and most reliable way to delete your Facebook account in 2025 is to start on your phone.

✅ Step 1: Open the Facebook App (Android or iPhone)

From your Facebook home screen, tap the search icon 🔍 (usually top right on Android and iOS).

✅ Step 2: Type delete

As you type, you’ll see a search suggestion appear:

“Deactivate or delete this profile”

🎯 Tap that. This is your direct shortcut to the deactivation/deletion settings — no menu digging required.

💻 Warning: Doesn’t Work the Same on Desktop (Yet)

Here’s the annoying part.

If you try to do the same search (delete or deactivate) in the search bar on Facebook.com from a desktop browser (Mac or PC), it won’t show you “Deactivate or delete this profile.”

🤯 Why? Because Facebook doesn’t behave consistently across platforms — and that’s by design. Platforms like Facebook don’t make leaving easy.

But here’s the workaround:

🔄 Step 3: Trick Desktop Facebook With Mobile History

If you already clicked “Deactivate or delete this profile” on your mobile app...

➡️ Then open Facebook in your desktop browser
➡️ Click into the search bar, but don’t type anything

You’ll see a list of Recent searches
👉 And “Deactivate or delete this profile” should now appear there. Click it!

🧠 This step only works if you've already used the mobile shortcut.

💡 Quick Tip

The “Deactivate or delete this profile” entry is currently this link ! ⬅️ Click it !

🖥️ Step-by-Step Deletion (From Desktop, After Search)

Now that you’re in the right place, here’s how to delete your Facebook account for real:

✅ Step 4: Choose the Account You Want to Delete

You’ll land on the Deactivation or deletion page.

• Select the Facebook profile you want to delete
• Choose “Delete account”, then tap Continue, Continue, Continue

✅ Step 5: Navigate the Maze of Final Options

Meta doesn’t let you leave without trying to guilt-trip you a little. On the next few screens, you’ll be shown:

• “Deactivate instead”
• Review your activity log
• Download your information
• Transfer a copy of your data
• Review connected apps

If you really want to leave, skip through these by tapping Continue each time.

🏁 Final Step: Confirm and Goodbye

Eventually, you’ll be asked to enter your password to confirm deletion.

Then, you’ll land on the final screen with a “Delete Account” button.

Tap it, and you’re done. Facebook will usually schedule the deletion within 30 days (you can cancel it before then if you log in again — but don’t).

🎉 Account Deleted. Finally.

🔍 Summary (TL;DR)

• 📱 Use the Facebook mobile app, search for "delete" → tap “Deactivate or delete this profile”
• 💻 On desktop, use your mobile search history to make it appear or direct link
• 🧭 Skip Meta’s guilt-trip prompts and download options
• ✅ Confirm password and delete
• 🧨 Done!
