I could never find it, only able to deactivate. Here's how to actually delete it...
"Until 2008, there was no obvious way to permanently delete your information from Facebook. Instead, there was a Deactivate option only, which removed your profile from public view but left it on Facebook’s servers indefinitely. Thousands complained, so Facebook built a tool for permanently and instantly deleting user data—then promptly hid it away in the site’s Help section. To access it, log in to Facebook, navigate to facebook.com/help, and type "delete my account" in the search box. The top result will link you to the deletion page. Click Submit and confirm your choice, and you’re done. While Facebook doesn’t offer much help for backing up your data—a particular concern if you use Facebook to hold your photo collection—there are a number of free Facebook apps designed to archive your albums, such as Facebook Exporter for iPhoto and FBPhotoExport."

I deleted mine, yesterday. Thank you!

I will try to delete my facebook now. Thanks to the instructions you have provided.
Thank you I have tried so many times to rid the vermin. I changed my information long ago. I flagged them from my email but still get garbage. This is a happy day for me.
I don't know Jim. I deleted my entire account. Yes, the 2-week wait is suspicious. Either you'll respond to the torrent of emails from the torrent of people on your account having birthdays and reactivate, or they are backlogged copying your information. You should try to delete or change everything on your page, wait a bit so their backup copies have time to overwrite the old information, then delete your account.
Can you just delete your photos?
