    1. Change your email to an aliased email address. (Proton mail for instance).

    Confirm the changes with Facebook.

    1. Change your password to a unique max length with alpha numeric and symbols enabled.

    Confirm the changes with Facebook.

    1. Follow Facebook’s guide to deleting your account: Facebook: Delete your account

    2. Delete your alias email. optional

    3. Forget the password. optional

    ??? Never log into Facebook again.

    Profit.

    Edit: as others have suggested it is important to delete your Facebook account. I have edited the above to reflect the changes.

      Aka how to ensure that all the data Facebook has on you never goes away. This is terrible advice.

      If you’re just trying to leave Facebook I recommend going the deletion route then filtering all emails from them.

          The only way it will work is requesting it from them.

          When I requested deletion (in like 2017) it was pretty quick.
