Facebook doesn’t really mention clearly how to delete an account, might find it difficult to find delete option if you check the settings. Forget that and follow these steps :

How to Delete Facebook Account
Just as simple as that! Your account will be deleted and all of the data (images, videos, etc.) will be lost.
And, if you don’t want to completely delete your account, you can always deactivate your account.
Deactivating your account just hides you from Facebook. Unlike deleting your account, all your data won’t be lost after deactivation.
Instead, it will be hidden from everyone and you’ll be able to reactivate the account and make everything back as normal when you sign in for the next time.

- Now click confirm button.
Now you’ve successfully deactivated your account. That’s all you have to do when you’re done with social media/Facebook.
Over to You:-
One important thing to note that is that, Facebook is not mentioning anywhere in their help page “How to delete your Facebook account”.
Facebook don’t want you to go, they want to maintain their population.
