Download a copy of your Facebook account

As your account deletion request accepted after some days, Facebook didn’t give you any other option/opportunity to recover your deleted Facebook account. That’s why thinking of this, you can Download a copy of your account and save it in your computer. This method is a part of Facebook Tricks. To do this:
