    no all your information is just 'suspended' and still stored with the deactivate function

    read the quote below (taken form here) then go to the link while logged in and select 'delete account' they will try to give you reasons to not delete your account, at the end it deletes your account, or so you might think... actual deletion happens 14 days after you submit the deleation form, therefore do not try to log in within thoes 14 days as that would cancel the deletion request.

    from facebook:
    If you deactivate your account from the "Deactivate Account" section on the Account page, your profile and all information associated with it are immediately made inaccessible to other Facebook users. What this means is that you effectively disappear from the Facebook service. However, if you want to reactivate at some point, we do save your profile information (friends, photos, interests, etc.), and your account will look just the way it did when you deactivated if you decide to reactivate it. Many users deactivate their accounts for temporary reasons and expect their information to be there when they return to the service.

    If you do not think you will use Facebook again and would like your account deleted, please keep in mind that you will not be able to reactivate your account or retrieve any of the content or information you have added. If you would like your account permanently deleted with no option for recovery, log in to your account and then submit your request here
