Facebook is a good tool to keep in touch with friends and family; But for some people, the constant updates, messages, likes, nudges, and advertisements that meet them become annoying, not to mention the addiction of "digital communication" in a way that may sometimes distance the user from "real communication" with others, and such people may want to terminate their connection with Facebook.
Termination of the account on Facebook is in two ways: suspension or termination, and the two methods depend on whether the user thinks about returning to his account in the future or permanently deleting it.
How to disable the
account Temporarily disabling the account means that the user has the option to return to Facebook at any time he wants, and to disable the account, he must follow the following:

If you disable your account, your profile will not be visible to others on Facebook, and no one will be able to search for you, but some information, such as messages that you sent to friends, may remain visible to others.
And in case you decide to return to Facebook again, you can reactivate your account at any time by logging in with your email and password to restore your entire file.
How to permanently delete the account.
Either if you think that you will never use Facebook, you can request to delete your account permanently, in which case you will not be able to reactivate your account or restore anything you have shared on your profile.
Before deleting your account, you may want to back up your information from Facebook. To do this, click on the arrow head downwards at the top right of the Facebook page, choose "Settings", then click on the link at the bottom of the main menu that says "Download a copy of your data on Facebook." .
To delete your account, you should go to the following link:

It may take up to ninety days for Facebook to delete all that you have posted on your account, such as photos, status updates, or any data saved in backup systems, and during that period in which Facebook deletes your information, it will not be available to anyone else who uses the social network.
It should be noted that some things you do on Facebook are not saved in your account, for example, a friend may have messages from you in his inbox, and this information will remain even after you delete your account, and for this you will need to contact the recipient of your messages if you want to delete them.
