Have you tried taking backup of those apps? If not then I'm sorry to tell you my friend that you're yet to witness the true Hell.

I want to delete my FB account, So I initiated backup(download of page) for my apps, One such app had large number of users and so I expected the download file to be ready in couple of days as informed by FB. It showed 'Pending' for a long time.

Several months have passed, My download didn't get generated and the 'Request a download' button is again active. That promised email from FB never arrived nor does it show that the download files were ever generated(Other pages with smaller users show that). FB for some reason has decided not to provide me with the download of my FB page.

Now I cannot delete my FB account until this gets sorted and I don't know how to sort this out.

Wow...this might be standard protocol, then. It should be covered by a journalist.
