Follow the underlined steps to permanently delete your Facebook account:

· Step 2: In 'General Account Settings,' click 'Download a copy of all your Facebook data' option.

· Step 3: Go to the following link - https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account and click on the Delete My Account option.

Finally, Facebook will notify you that your account has been scheduled for deletion and will be deleted within 14 days. In case you change your mind, you can login anytime within the 14 days to cancel the deletion request. Facebook also adds that it may take up to 90 days from the beginning of the deletion process to delete all the things you've posted, including photos, status updates or other relevant data.
