There's enough users remaining that your shadow profile still has value and facebook march on.

This solution is not a solution. Definitely do it, and you'll really enjoy doing it too - life improves! Just don't think it's any kind of solution to any of the systemic problems that are being discussed because it isn't. Not even a partial solution. Not even a meaningful start of one.

But if my Facebook profile is deactivated or deleted or whatever, and I’m no longer active, how can they still have information about me? I had about 300 “friends” on there but no one really tagged or mentioned me or anything.
