I deleted (as much as you can, at least) my Facebook account about a year ago. I think the main reason it took me so long to go through with it was the fear that I would somehow miss out on events, or that many of my friends I don't have the opportunity to speak to daily would be upset. Looking back it seems silly, but the ability of Facebook to hold onto users through social pressure (either real, or imagined) is remarkable.

Your information is never deleted. Once you enter it into the site it is theirs forever. So even if it was there once and now is gone, that information is still tied to your account, this includes name changes also.
