Seems useless group though

Although true that may be, data can still be searched even when Facebook says they do delete it, permanently. For example (which is actually true in statement), if you make a dummy account, fill it up with random things and pictures and then delete it and after the period that which Facebook says it is permanently gone, it is not because if you search for your Facebook account in a search engine, after which it was supposedly permanently deleted, it will still bring up search results.

Also, old Facebook accounts can be found using the url, .onion which is only accessed using the Tor network.

Of course it isn't truly gone-- that's true for anything on the internet. You could make a bunch of nasty posts here on AD, have a change of heart and go delete them all. They're still out there if you use the cached pages or the wayback machine.

That is why many people say to think twice before you post or put something on the internet (shades of "would you want your MOTHER to see this?").

you joking I thought I totally deleted it.. so some arse can still get my details I was having problems that's why I deleted it

By now it may be deleted from Facebook servers- or at least deleted from visible view. If somebody is that bored enough or determined enough they'll go digging in the internet to find it. So I wouldn't worry that much about it.

Here is the info (you are right AlleyCat- I think it's fairly new.. within the last year or so)-

How do I permanently delete my account?

If you don't think you'll use Facebook again, you can request to have your account permanently deleted. Please keep in mind that you won't be able to reactivate your account or retrieve anything you've added. Before you do this, you may want to download a copy of your info from Facebook. Then, if you'd like your account permanently deleted with no option for recovery, log into your account and let us know.

When you delete your account, people won't be able to see it on Facebook. It may take up to 90 days to delete all of the things you've posted, like your photos, status updates or other data stored in backup systems. While we are deleting this information, it is inaccessible to other people using Facebook.

Some of the things you do on Facebook aren’t stored in your account. For example, a friend may still have messages from you even after you delete your account. That information remains after you delete your account.

and if you click on the link in that article it does take you to the Delete My Account page. I think normally you have to go through Settings>Security>Deactivate my account-- there you are given the choice of deactivating ('putting account on hold') or deleting permanently)
