No guys, you only thought you deleted it, it's harder to get rid of than the worst trojan ever written
just go back to the site and try to log in on your deleted account - It may be gone, but maybe not | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Real World Computing (Me + a little help from Acer) OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 + x86 + Windows 8 x64 CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1035T 2.6 GHz Motherboard Aspire M3400 Memory 4Gb PC10600 DDR3 1333 MHz Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 315 512MB Sound Card OnBoard - Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays Philips 32" HDTV, (HDMI) + 26" TV (VGA) Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 @60Hz + 1360 x 768 @60Hz Keyboard Microsoft Wireless 800 or Stock Acer, (depends where I sit) Mouse Microsoft Wireless 800 or Stock Acer, (depends where I sit) PSU Stock (400W) Case Acer M3400 Cooling Stock Hard Drives 500 GB Seagate ST3500418AS SATA II

I know it's really a PITA to get rid of...you need to request the delete and if you try to log on in the next 2 weeks that request is automatically canceled. And even if it finally says your account is deleted that's no guaranty that all your pics and whatever else you put there is deleted as well.
Thankfully I was paranoid enough not to put any personally identifiable Info or pics in my account, so I honestly don't care if they deleted it or not. I canceled the fake email accounts I used to create those fb accounts and now I couldn't log on even if I'd ever wanted to
