How do I delete/deactivate my facebook account?

Sample Q&A:

Facebook has made it easier for users to delete their account if you're absolutely sure you do not
want/need it.


To permanently delete your account: Go to this page:
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account
Select the checkbox and click "Submit".
Your account will be permanently deleted in a few days.

If you just want to deactivate your account (you can restore it at a later time and all your contents will still be there), go to https://register.facebook.com/deactivate.php
