For many of us, having old social media accounts we no longer use can pose a cybersecurity risk. If you’ve forgotten the password to your old Facebook account, there are still steps you can take to ensure the account is deleted securely.

How to Delete Your Old Facebook Account:

1. Go to the Facebook login page and click on 'Forgot Password'.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password. If you no longer have access to the email or phone number associated with the account, click on 'No longer have access to these?'
3. Facebook will then ask you a series of security questions to verify your identity. Answer them to the best of your ability.
4. If you are unable to reset your password using the above methods, you can report the account to Facebook as 'Hacked' or 'Compromised'.
5. Once you regain access to the account, go to the 'Settings' and find the 'Deactivate Account' option. Follow the steps to permanently delete your old Facebook account.

It is important to regularly review and delete old accounts to mitigate cybersecurity risks and protect your personal information. Remember to use strong, unique passwords for each account to prevent unauthorized access.
