    Consider deleting all your stuff in your account and using every "delete all my shit, Facebook" process there is. Then delete the account. If Facebook actually complies this will do an even better job of wiping your presence.

      This is the correct way to wipe out an internet account. Get all your info off first.

      Facebook has also been confirmed to create "shadow" accounts of people that fit into holes in their web of social networks. Honestly, your best bet may may to just delete everything from your account but not your account itself to maintain at least a little control over who "you" are to Facebook.
