I just “deactivated” Facebook

What’s this “deactivation” nonsense? Why can’t I just delete my account? Does this mean Facebook keeps my information?
If so, that’s f-ed up.
Yes, that’s what it means and you’re right about it being fubar.
Though, you can contact Facebook requesting them to remove it entirely. Apparently they will soon give users the facility to delete and not just deactivate profiles themselves. More info about it is in this ReadWriteWeb article: Facebook Makes it Easier to Delete Your Account, Sort Of.
