Facebook is a good tool for keeping in touch with friends and family;
But for some people, the constant updates, messages, likes, nudges and ads combined to become annoying, not to mention an addiction to “digital communication” that sometimes takes the user away from “real communication” with others, and such people may want to end their connection with Facebook.
Termination of the account on Facebook is in two ways: disabling or terminating, and the two methods depend on whether the user is considering returning in the future to his account 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. To disable the account, the following must be followed:
Click on the arrow pointing down at the top right of the Facebook page, and choose “Settings”, then click on “Security” from the menu that appears on the left of the screen, and from the “Security” options that will appear on the right, choose “Disable your account” and then follow the steps to confirm the process .

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 you sent to friends, may remain visible to others.
And if you decide to go back to Facebook again, you can reactivate your account at any time by logging in with your email and password to get your entire profile back.
How to permanently delete the account
Either if you think that you will never use Facebook, you can request to permanently delete your account, in which case you will not be able to reactivate your account or restore anything you shared on your profile.
Before deleting your account, you may want to back up your information from Facebook. To do so, click the down arrow in the top right of the Facebook page, select “Settings,” then click the link at the bottom of the main menu that says “Download a copy of your Facebook data.” .
To delete your account, you need to go to the following link:
https://facebook.com/help/delete_account and then click on "Delete my account", and follow the steps to confirm the process.
It can take Facebook up to ninety days to delete everything you've posted on your account, such as photos, status updates, or any data held in backup systems, and during that time Facebook deletes your information, it won't be available to anyone else using the social network.
It should be noted that some things you do on Facebook are not saved to 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, so you will need to communicate with the recipient of your messages if you want to delete them.
