Does your name disappear when you delete Facebook?
If you deactivate your Facebook account:
Specific information, such as sent messages, will remain visible. Your name will show up on friend lists, but only for your friends. Your name, posts, and comments will be visible to the admins of groups you're joined.
What happens to messages when you delete your Facebook account?
Some information, like messages you sent to friends, may still be visible to them after you delete your account. Copies of messages you have sent are stored in your friends' inboxes. If you use your Facebook account to log in to Oculus, deleting your Facebook account will also delete your Oculus information.
Why is my name still showing on Messenger when I have deleted my account on Facebook?
Why is my name still showing on Messenger instead of Facebook user, when I have deleted my Facebook account? Because your account is not permanently deleted. Until it's not permanently deleted, your name and conversation with people can be seen by people with whom you have chatted.
