Out of curiosity, why don't you think you can delete Facebook? I have a few friends whose jobs are in new media spaces and have thrown out a couple reasons off the cuff. After talking through those scenarios though, we concluded it's entirely reasonable and practical to delete their Facebook accounts, and it wouldn't negatively impact their livelihood as much as they originally thought.

The point of my post is that I literally can't delete Facebook right now because I'm locked out of my account. I'm not one of those people who thinks I can't live without it, my account has already been deactivated for around 2 years.

The main thing I am complaining about is that I think it's appalling that my account can be reactivated without actually giving me access to the account.

I have submitted a support request and will be deleting Facebook as soon as I get access to the account!

OP can't delete it because they can't log in, as they explain in the post.
How is your comment relevant to this post? OP said s/he wants to delete facebook but failed to do so.
