Is it sure? I’ve done it 15 years ago but I remember clearly there was an option to delete everything. Could it be that it’s only for EU?
It's pretty rare to actually delete data from a database. It's almost always flagged in a way that the system is supposed to ignore.
But even if you've never had a Facebook account, they create a shadow profile by tracking you through the share on Facebook buttons on websites.
That's why people should use a browser that blocks those trackers.
