If you determine that you no longer want to make use of Facebook, it's very easy to deactivate your account. When you deactivate your account, you're concealing all of your information on Facebook. No person will have the ability to contact you on Facebook or watch the important things you have actually shared, including your Timeline, status updates, and photos. If you choose that you 'd like to return to Facebook, you'll still be able to reactivate your account as well as recover your old info.
