How do you know if someone has deleted their Facebook account?

Ive just noticed that ive not seen any updates from one of my friends for a about a week or so, which is unusual as she posts lots of photo's and stuff. I tried looking for her today and her page has totally disapeared from my friends list.

I panicked thinking that maybe I'd done something to upset and she'd deleted me as a friend, and then I noticed that she'd disapered from other mutual friends lists as well:confused:

She was in one of my circles and where her picture and page was its just a blank silhouetted photo with 'Facebook User' posted underneath:confused: Im confused, does this mean she has deactivated it?

I know her mum had complained that she thought Facebook was intrustive and she was sick of people asking her stuff because she'd seen it on my friends Facebook page.

    You could perhaps ring and ask her...?

    Call or email her.

    I don't have her number? I don't think she's on the internet at home so she doesn't have an e-mail addy, she uses it at work and at her mum's I think.

    If she has deactivated it, you should not be able to see anything.

    You could of course try using using the find function.

    I can't see anything at all. Ive tried looking for her on the find function, and other people's friends lists and she's totally vanished. She left comments on other friends walls the other day, and now those comments have vanished as well.

    I know you can appear as invisible to non friends on Facebook, but your name and your comments can still be seen when you have written on people's walls. So even if she'd deleted me from friends, and hidden herself from non friends I'd still be able to see her comments.

    Its very strange:confused:

    Do you have her home address? You could perhaps drop her a card/letter.

    I think if she blocked you then she would not appear on your friends list aswell. Basically they are in stealth mode from you. Ask one of your other friends secretly to see.

    the only way to tell for yourself is create an alternate account and do a search for her. If she shows up on your search then you can be 100% positive you are blocked. or ask someone to search for her for you.

    Facebook is playing funny buggers with certain people at the moment, most apps don't seem to be updating and other strange things going on.

    I mean a cyber friend or a real friend. One tends to have their real friends phone numbers but not always facebook chums.

    It looks about the same to me. I actually don't have anywhere near as many friends as some people have. I only add people I actualyl know, or have known at some point.

    It could be that stupid fan check application that affects profiles that it's tagged.

    There are two explanations:

    1) She has deactivated her account.
    2) She has blocked you.

    In both these scenarios, she would no longer appear on your or your friends' friends lists.

    It's a bit strange that you consider her a friend and yet don't have her number. If you have no other way to contact her other than facebook, how good friends are you?

    She's a relative of mine. I only ever really see her when I bump into her family do's, or while im out in town shopping etc. But we have always got on pretty well.

    To be honest I really don't see why people get so arsey about how good friends you are? Facebook is a good way of keeping in touch with people from your past, or who you don't see often.

    Im inclinded to believe she has deleted because her mum has had a go at her. A few months back she was quite ill in hospital and she posted lost of updates on Facebook which led her mum was getting texts from people constantly asking how she was at all hours, and I know she was really angry about that. She tended to post quite personal things on it, and I know people gossiped about her because of it.

    Facebook are a law unto themselves and often delete and/or block accounts for something as simple as someone sending 4 e-mails in 4 minutes. I had to open another when my original suddenly got blocked from messaging anybody or even commenting on my own photos.

    You can search for her by her e-mail address. If you think she may have blocked you, ask someone unrelated to you both to search for her via e-mail address. If neither of you can find her then her account has been deleted, either by her or by facebook.

    That's what I thought but didn't get a response to my question.

    Prolly time to move on and not be so devastated over someone you don't really know.

    I doubt she is a relative of yours. If she was you would be able to reach her. Not even an email address?
