Once you decide to delete your account, it will be difficult to retrieve your information if you change your mind 30 days after deleting your account.

Meta-owned Facebook lets you delete your account through the mobile app on Android and iOS or through a web browser. You should note that Facebook only gives you 30 days to undo the deletion of your account and all of its posts and information. Facebook can take up to 90 days to completely delete the account and all of its information.
