How to delete your profile!
Well it seems as though facebook simple deactivates your profile while maintaining your data. So if you truly want to get rid of your personal information you should change it. Update your profile with a whole lot of ficticious data and then deactivate. It doesn't really matter if they keep the profile stored, because it's not really any information that relates to you.
