How to Download your Facebook Data?

If you want to delete your facebook account - the facebook advises you to download your information before delete facebook account.

You can do this by going to Account Settings => General => ‘Download a copy of your Facebook data’ and then clicking Start My Archive.



Facebook will then prepare the download, which includes anything you have posted on your Timeline; sent and received messages; photos and videos; and your friend list. Facebook will then email you when it is ready (this can take several hours).



Interestingly, you can also download an Expanded Archive that contains even more account info, such as the dates and times of all your Facebook sessions, adverts you have clicked and “a list of topics that you may be targeted against based on your stated likes, interests and other data you put in your timeline”.

You can’t remove any of this information without deleting your account, but it’s useful to learn exactly what Facebook knows about you.
