What is deleted when I delete my Facebook ?

 

The question is frequently asked by users who sometimes struggle to find the answer. I must say that Facebook remains rather vague on the subject and that the accusations about retention and resale of personal data are many. What is the reality ?

Permanently delete a Facebook account deletes all the data you have put online.  After deleting your account, data will not be visible anymore on Facebook by any other user.



Your photos, videos, posts and comments on your Facebook wall or even the comments you have left on other profiles , everything is deleted after you have deleted your Facebook account.

Now if you search deeper into the details, Facebook has received several allegations concerning the resale or provision of user data to certain private companies (for marketing actions targeting) or to some governments in the monitoring program framework (besides the use of navigation cookies and account information that will allow Facebook to target advertisements posted on the site but that is in the conditions of use so no complaints on that) . Again, none of the allegations are official and Facebook is committed to not transmit personal information to third parties.

Deleting a Facebook account causes the deletion of all data that has been recorded when you used your profile. That’s what Facebook is committed to in . Now hard to say if some data is not retained by the site.

Before you delete your Facebook profile, you can request the download of all the information from your profile .

You can download your personal archive by going to your settings and click on the link “Download a copy of your Facebook data”.

What remains on Facebook after deleting a profile ?

 

If you delete your Facebook profile, however, be aware that some data will remain on Facebook .

About pics or videos you had put on Facebook , they will be removed. But about pictures or  videos of you which were uploaded by someone else that you, those elements will be still present on Facebook . So if there are photos or videos you want to see remove and which don’t belong to your account, you will have to ask to your friend to remove these elements or report these contents to Facebook .
