Nice, great step! Just in case: did you check if you have any forgotten "log in with facebook" linked applications? You might want to check them to see if you have configured an alternative login. If you're not sure, I very strongly advise you to undo the delete while it is still possible, and go into settings to check for this. When you're sure you're all good, you can just delete the account again.

Yeah I did, also downloaded a copy of my data. Thanks though!
As I go thorugh my 2FA codes and make sure I safely backup all the things I need to log into to important accounts, I wonder how I would explain this to someone 200 years ago.
“Yeah if I lose this code then I won’t be able to unlock this secret picture on this magic screen ever again”
The daycare my son goes to uses FB exclusively to communicate closure, parties, etc. I hate it.
I semi-recently deleted a 20yo fb account. It's been over 30 days, so Yeah... it's gone.
Better late than never I guess.
congratulations! I got my Facebook deletion unconsentually, I guess there was an exploit or something because I tried to log in for the first time in over a year to look at a band and got met with a "your account will be deleted in 70 days" message with a name that isn't mine. Can't appeal without literally scanning my face so... uh.. I'm good.
Your brain will rest easy now! Good job
