Yes, Facebook does make deleting an account less straightforward compared to deactivation. To permanently delete your account, navigate to ‘Settings & Privacy’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘Your Facebook Information’. From there, select ‘Deactivation and Deletion,’ and choose ‘Permanently Delete Account.’ It’s a multi-step process, including a 30-day grace period for account reactivation, which can be seen as Facebook making it less immediate. However, following these steps will eventually lead to successful account deletion.
