    Unhappy facebook question

    A friend thought they were helping???? and open a facebook account for me. I don't want it and am tired of getting notice from people who want to friend me. I just don't have time for it or mg on computer for it to load. I went to site but can't figure out how to cancel it.
    Am I stuck with the thing? Does anyone know how to cancel a facebook account? Where do you go to do it?
    Thank you for your help.

    Sign in to your account.
    At very top of page on right side, click on what looks like an arrow.
    You'll get a drop down box with options.
    Click on 'settings'
    Then on left side, click on 'security'
    In the middle of that page you should see where it says ''deactivate your account.''

    It doesn't really delete it forever, it will still be there should you want it later, but once you deactivate it, no one will see it anymore.

    She can delete the account as long as she has the login and password with the link shown above. It doesn't matter who opened the account they set it up for her and it "belongs" to her.

    Yes I was able to delete it as SLance68 stated she thought she was "helping" me by opening it in my name and she gave me the password but I just couldn't figure out how to get rid of it and she couldn't either. Thanks Eyore and 3lilpigs was able to get rid of it. I know lots love facebook but it was not for me. Thanks again.
