Help! How to escape from Facebook

[***super_nova***]

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 .

Are you using the same email address? You need a different addy for each reg. FB a/c

Yes, i am using a different email address.  My main FB is in my main optusnet addy that I use for all my communications with friends etc.  I also have addy for banking, and  addys for different ebay accounts.  The addy I used for the second account is gmail, so how in the hell do I get from my message in gmail to FB account with optusnet addy?  I am coming to the stage of wanting to close both.

OK, I have logged out from my #1 account, then I logged into my #2 account, then I followed the above instructions.  First problem was that there was no possibility to cancel, only to deactivate, but I though that will do.  So after I selected a reason and wrote little note of explanation, and hit the CONFIRM button and got asked for a password, again, it rejected the password !!!!!!!!!!!!!  That password logged me in and now it is "invalid"?  I tried 1/2 dozen times.

I would suggest you reset your password first then if you want to totally delete the account you have to fill in a form according to this.

Should none of that work there is the little cog like icon top rh corner of FB page, click on that and then "report a problem" tell them you want to delete the account and see if they answer you (don't hold your breath though".

How do I permanently delete my account?

If you deactivate your account, your timeline disappears from the Facebook service immediately. People on Facebook won't be able to search for you, though some info, like messages you sent, may still be visible to others. We also save your timeline information (ex: friends, photos, interests, etc.) in case you want to come back.

If you don't think you'll use Facebook again, you can request to have your account permanently deleted. Please keep in mind that you won't be able to reactivate your account or retrieve anything you've added. Before you do this, you may want to download a copy of your info from Facebook. Then, if you'd like your accountpermanently deleted with no option for recovery, log into your account and fill out this form.

If you can't log in to your account, you'll need to reset your password first. To do this, go to www dot facebook dot com and click the Forgot your password? link below the password field. Once you’ve followed the instructions to reset your password and can log into your account, you can deactivate or delete your account using the steps outlined above.

If you click on "Fill out this form" in my previous post it will take you to the delete page
