3. At the very bottom of the account page you will see a delete account button, click it.
4. Confirm you want to delete your account
MySpace

3. Select Account from the settings page
4. Scroll down to where it says "account cancelation" and click cancel account
5. Click one the box to explain why you want you're account deleted
6. Open up a new tab and, in it, check your email.
7. You should receive an email from MySpace. Open the email and click on the confirmation link
8. Finally, click to confirm your cancelation once again
1. Log into FaceBook
2. Follow this link: https://ssl.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account
3. Click submit
4. Enter your password and the word in the boxes
5. Once you have done this, do not log into your account again and it will be deleted within 14 days

3. Insert your password and reason for deleting your account

I DID this and it looks like it is going to work!
