Deleting the Facebook account is no mountain uphill but Facebook has not given the public access to delete their respective accounts.
All one can do from the Facebook console/settings/control panel is deactivate the account.

Deactivation denies access to everyone trying to seek access to the deactivated account’s data, when accessing the deactivated account data or profile/albums/photos/status updates/comments you would be shown the “This Content Is Currently Unavailable” page.
If you login to your deactivated account anytime in future your account would be activated then and there.
You would be back on Facebook again your data would be available to whoever wants to see you of course via your privacy settings.
To delete an account of Facebook you need to click on this link following:
http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account
Then follow the simple steps asking you your password and a reCAPTCHA challenge.
We don’t know but it seems like somebody requested the help/support team of for deletion of their account and they provide it hidden
under help topics. Maybe because Facebook doesn’t want people going off their site and in process of doing so deleting their account data updates/photos/videos/comments/likes etc.
To delete an account on Facebook takes 14 days of patience. They remove your data after 14 days of deletion request you put in.
And you are not supposed to login to your Facebook account for 14 full days, during this period otherwise you might end up activating your account again.
Note: However doesn’t take down the data off its servers data is still there you can access if you have direct links to it. happened to me atleast,data photos etc associated with the profile i deleted more than 14 days ago is still up and haven’t not been deleted
