OK, I only joined some years ago to stay in touch with people from around the world, who are involved in the same hobby. Recently, I was more involved in Australian politic discussions, which is not what my o/s friends are necessarily interested in. So I had a bright idea of opening another ID for the various political issues. But for this new ID facebook keeps demanding all sorts of info, and today they insist on giving them access to my address book with my Internet provider. So I decided to cancel that ID. But it is not working. When I go to the dialog box to cancel there is a request for password and the wobbly letters test. Then I get a message that the email/password combination is incorrect. There is no request for email! Wondering if I am putting in wrong password, I tried to do forgot password, but that is not working either.
I then went to Facebook forum and tried to ask how to cancel, and the message was blocked because it was considered "obscene" !!!!! Where is the "tearing my hair out" emoticon when you need it . 
today they insist on giving them access to my address book with my Internet provider.
i am not sure what you mean by that.
you were not creative with your details i suppose?
i am an ancient god there. i ignore their pleas to give them my personal informations like what city i live in etc.
my account is fine and sorta anonym 
I deactivated mine a few years ago but then reactivated it, everything was still there when I reactivated. I did not go thru any rigmarole to deactivate.
I can not imagine why you should have to give you address book details that sounds wrong. This is what I found.
How do I deactivate my account?
Permanently delete your account:
Permanently deleting your account means you will not ever be able to reactivate or retrieve any of the content or information you've added. If you would like your account permanently deleted with no option for recovery, (it then says please contact us)
Note: Facebook does not use content associated with accounts that have been deactivated or deleted.
To deactivate your account:
- Click the account menu
at the top right of any Facebook page - Select Account Settings
- Click Security in the left-hand column
- Click Deactivate your account
When you deactivate your account, your timeline and all information associated with it disappears from Facebook immediately. People on Facebook will not be able to search for you or view any of your information.
If you’d like to come back to Facebook anytime after you’ve deactivated your account, you can reactivate your account by logging in with your email and password. Your timeline will be restored in its entirety (friends, photos, interests, etc.). Remember that you will need to have access to the login email address for your account in order to reactivate it.

I did not give any details. Now I have a message saying "just one step to complete your registration" and button to click CONFIRM. When i click on it I go straight to my old facebook under my name. The new one was registered under my middle name.
