Sure you can... There is the hard way http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16929680703 or the easy way... Send something along the following to their customer service department. Hello, I am writing to inquire as to where you receive legal process. I have made numerous attempts to delete my account <account name> and have been unable to do so successfully, I am not interested in shutting down or locking my account. I am seeking nothing less than the complete deletion of all profile data, pictures, posts and other information that may have been posted to your servers. I have revoked any and all copyright permissions previously granted, and because you have no automated or otherwise accessible process for this, you have made it abundantly clear that a legal remedy is in order. Please delete my account in accordance with my above instructions or reply with your legal process address so that the process server may deliver the documents I am having prepared. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, E. X. Customer BTW I've also found this works well for myspace and other sites that like to make it hard to delete accounts. So far I have a 100% success rate. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
