This article will show you how to do this. First, go to the Settings tab of your Facebook account and tap the &#8220;Forgot your password or email?&#8221; option. Then, type in a new password and email address and select your trusted contacts. That&#8217;s it! Your old account is now gone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_deactivate_an_old_Facebook_account\"><\/span>How to deactivate an old Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Forgotten your Facebook password or email address? It&#8217;s possible to recover your account &#8211; just follow these steps. After 30 days, you can request your account be closed. However, if you&#8217;ve already requested deletion, you should log in to your old Facebook account before the 30 days are up. To recover your account, use the login page. You will be asked to answer a security question and provide a valid email address.<\/p>\n<p>First, regain login access to your old Facebook account. Search for the old account using its email address or mobile number. If it&#8217;s an old account, Facebook will send you a password reset code via SMS. You may also be able to find it in your account settings. To do this, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n<p>Next, log into the social network and click on the &#8220;V&#8221; button at the top right corner. This will bring up the menu. Click on the &#8220;Your information on Facebook&#8221; link. From here, click on the &#8220;Delete account&#8221; button. You will be asked to enter your username and password. Once you&#8217;ve verified your identity, you can follow the instructions for recovering your account. You can also consult the guide on recovering your account in case you forgot your email address.<\/p>\n<p>You can also memorialize your deceased loved one&#8217;s account to prevent anyone from accessing the information. This option allows you to access the old account, but you can&#8217;t log in anymore. If you are unable to log in to your account, you can still find the messages from your loved one. If this doesn&#8217;t work, contact the apps that you used to access the account. Remember, your messages might still be visible to your friends because they are still stored in your friends&#8217; inboxes.<\/p>\n<p>You can still recover your deactivated account by visiting the website. However, the deactivation process can be a difficult process &#8211; if you don&#8217;t remember your password, you&#8217;ll need to contact Facebook and request a permanent deletion. Your account will no longer be available for searching. In addition, you won&#8217;t be able to restore it if you&#8217;ve changed your email or password.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_delete_an_old_Facebook_account\"><\/span>How to delete an old Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways to delete an old Facebook account. You can either use your email address and password or you can request that Facebook send you an OTP in the form of a text message. If you cannot read the code, you can simply click the &#8220;Try another text or audio captcha&#8221; link. It may take as long as 14 days to delete your account. However, after this time, it will no longer be visible on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to delete an old Facebook account without email or password, first you&#8217;ll need to find a way to log in. The easiest way to do this is to search for the old account using its email address or mobile number. When you enter an old email address or mobile phone number, Facebook will send you a password reset code via SMS. There are other methods for recovering your account, but these three are the most common.<\/p>\n<p>If you have several accounts on Facebook, you&#8217;ll need to change the contact email address on each one. If you have forgotten your email address, you&#8217;ll want to update your email address for each account so that you can get an updated email when someone contacts you. If you&#8217;re not able to change your email address, you can still delete your old Facebook account without email or password. There&#8217;s one more way, but it&#8217;s not nearly as easy.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to regain access to your old Facebook account without email or password is to set up Trusted Friends. This way, you can ask three trusted friends to send you a reset code. You&#8217;ll need to create these Trusted Friends and type their names, as they&#8217;ll be the only people who can help you retrieve your account. After the process of setting up Trusted Friends, you&#8217;ll be able to access your old account once again.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_Rh-xYNXq6s\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"439\" height=\"245\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete an Old Facebook Account Without Password Or Email If you are thinking of deactivating or deleting an old Facebook account, you are in luck.
