Why You Can't Recover a Permanently Deleted Facebook Account:

 

Have you permanently deleted your Facebook account and now want it back after several months? In this guide, we explain why a Facebook account deleted over 30 days ago—especially 5 months ago—cannot be recovered, according to Facebook’s official policies. Learn what happens after deletion, why it's irreversible, and what steps you can take next, including creating a new account safely. Stay informed and avoid common misconceptions about Facebook account recovery. 

1. Facebook's Policy:
   Facebook clearly states that once you request permanent deletion, your data is irrevocably erased after 30 days (sometimes up to 90 days for full removal from backup systems).

   🔍 After 30 days from the deletion request, you can't log in, reactivate, or retrieve the account.

2. 5 Months Have Passed:
   Since it's been over 150 days, your data has already been removed from Facebook's servers—including photos, messages, and friend lists.

3. Permanently Means Permanently:
   Unlike temporary deactivation (where you can return anytime), permanent deletion is final. Even Facebook support cannot restore it after the grace period has passed.  

What You Can Do Now:

1. Create a New Facebook Account:
   You can sign up again using your old email or phone number (as long as it's not linked to another active account).

2. Inform Your Friends:
   Let your contacts know that you’re using a new profile.

3. Check If You Downloaded Your Data:

4. If you had previously downloaded your Facebook data before deletion, you might still have your photos, posts, and messages offline.     

   Important Tip for the Future: 

   If you ever want to leave Facebook temporarily, use the "Deactivate" option instead of deleting. This way, your data is preserved and can be reactivated anytime.
