How to permanently delete your Facebook account

JustLocal is designed to provide low cost local advertising to people wishing to start, or who are already running a small to medium sized business. Not only is it low cost, but I believe that if you don’t benefit from participating in JustLocal then why should I. For that reason I offer a money back guarantee. I’ve used many advertising services over the year and all produced little or no result. I don’t think that is fair on anyone who is trying to establish a business and it is not how I wish to run JustLocal.

JustLocal advertisers now have an invaluable resource to help them and their business and is another way to guarantee you receive value from JustLocal. I’ve decided to provide the MyAnswers solution database as a free resource to JustLocal advertisers. The value of the time invested in creating the MyAnswers solution database is in the order of tens of thousands of dollars, but the value of the knowledge is substantially more. A single MyAnswers solution could easily save you hundreds of dollars and considerable time.

A number of people have expressed interest in permanently deleting their Facebook account, so I decided I would provide the write-up as an example of a MyAnswers solution. This solution took a short while to investigate and document. Many solutions have taken hours to solve the initial problem and all solutions are available for free to advertisers.

If you would like to permanently delete your Facebook account here is how to do it.
