Though a statement from the site announces, "We take the concerns of the ICO and our user's privacy very seriously and are committed to working with the ICO to maintain a trusted environment for all Facebook users and ensure compliance with UK law."
In order to fully delete the account it asks for more effort and “log in and delete all profile content".
