Yes if I had read/write access.

that's the plan. Copying a folder with pictures from your ~/Pictures folder into a facebook album or copying all your facebook albuns into your ~/Pictures folder, through your very own operative system at least (Windows, OSX, Linux, iOs, Android).

An web management application is also possible, although i would be not as much flexible with "downloading"

Could I use it to delete / wipe my account info if required too?

EDIT: As in deleting the info contained in my Facebook Account.

Very much doable, as far as i've seen:

"You can delete objects in the graph by issuing HTTP DELETE requests to the object URLs"

As in deleting your twitter account? Not really. But wicked stuff as seeing your facebook friends as an address book/vcard's is possible
