How do you know if your Facebook is truly deactivated? I completely deleted mine but I hear things about his messages stick around for 30 days and your profile still linger then.

When you deactivate your Facebook account, your profile becomes hidden, and it seems as though your account doesn’t exist. However, if you’ve completely deleted your account, the situation is slightly different. Here’s how to check and confirm each:

1. How to Know If Your Facebook Account is Truly Deactivated:

Search for Your Profile: When you deactivate your account, it should no longer appear in Facebook search results. If someone tries to search for you, they won’t find your profile.

Past Posts & Messages: Your posts and comments might still appear on other people’s pages, but your name will show as “Facebook User” without a clickable link to your profile. Your old messages will still exist, but your name will be replaced by “Facebook User.”

Messenger: If you chose to keep Messenger active while deactivating Facebook, your profile might still appear in chats (as a “Facebook User”) even though your account is deactivated.

2. If Your Account Is Deleted:

Immediate Visibility Changes: Deleting your Facebook account is a permanent action, but Facebook does give you a 30-day grace period in which you can cancel the deletion. During this time:

Messages: Your messages will still be visible in other people’s inboxes, but your profile will show as “Facebook User” after the deletion process completes.

Data Retention: Facebook will retain your data (posts, photos, etc.) for up to 30 days, and after that, your account will be fully deleted, including messages and comments tied to your profile.

Profile Visibility: Your profile won’t appear in search results after deletion is finalized.

To confirm whether your account has been fully deleted, you can attempt to log back in. If you cannot access your account or see any of your data, then the deletion process is complete.

Key Differences:

Deactivation hides your profile and retains your data, while deletion removes it permanently after 30 days.
