If you’re ever feeling like your Facebook page is a little too fake, there are a few ways to get rid of it. Here are three tips:

  1. Delete your account if you haven’t used it in months. This will remove any traces of the page from your history and make it harder for anyone to create a fake one in the future.
  2. Delete all of your posts and updates. This will also remove any evidence that the page was created by you or someone else.
  3. Disable notifications on your account so that people can’t be alerted when new posts or updates come in on the page. This will also make it less likely that someone will create a fake one using your name and information.

If you’re the one who created it, go to settings > account settings > General > deactivate. To be able to delete your profile, type in the password, then pick a reason and click DEACTIVATE.

In California, for example, it is a misdemeanor to create a fake Facebook profile of a real person with the aim of injuring, frightening, threatening, or defrauding others. Up to a year in jail and $1,000 in fines are possible punishments if you’re convicted.
