I wonder if facebook archives any of this information? In the past I was very active on facebook interacting with my friends during college. However I have now graduated and slowly began deleting myself from facebook because I no longer have a use for it (and I worry about jobs). If I completely delete my profile, i wonder if they still have my information

This is actually not true, and has been verified by the Irish Data Commission (http://www.dataprotection.ie/documents/press/Facebook_Irelan... see Page 44)

User accounts that are deleted have all associated user created content and data hard deleted after account is deleted. Additionally, a user deletes content (status updates, comments, etc..) that data is hard deleted.
