Once a Facebook account is permanently deleted, it cannot be seen by others on the platform. However, some data, like messages sent to others, might still be visible. To ensure complete visibility removal, consider deleting posts and messages before account deletion. Remember, deactivation is different from deletion and would allow the account to be reactivated. To fully remove the account, you must go through the permanent deletion process, which may take up to 30 days. Afterward, the account and data are unrecoverable.
