Just because it’s not easy doesn’t mean you shouldn’t send Facebook packing, though.

There’s more than one good reason to kick Facebook to the curb.

One possible reason is due to the amount of information the social media giant keeps on you.

It’s also been noted in multiple medical studies thatFacebook addiction is a very real issue.

People have also claimed that theirquality of life improved after deleting Facebook.

Here are a few things you’ll want to do before saying that final goodbye.

Transfer or download your data.

The good news is you don’t actually have to lose it.

Next, click “View” next to the “Download Your Information” option.

Or, you’re free to transfer your data from the same location.

Just click “View” next to “Transfer a Copy of Your Information” instead.

You’ll then need to request the download which could take a while.

Keep in mind that certain services only allow certain data types to be transferred.

Essentially, the sole purpose of that account will be to keep the page or group alive.

Otherwise, there’s not really any point in deleting your account to begin with.

For some of these apps, using Facebook may be your only way to sign in to your account.

The list of apps and websites that appear are the ones currently connected to Facebook.

Otherwise, you’ll need to create a password for your account before disconnecting Facebook.

This is especially true for those living abroad, where a simple phone call isn’t so simple.
