So, I thought I could have Facebook just send me a password reset link, which they did, instead of spending time trying to figure out which email address was the correct login ID for my account. That was a mistake. Because I sent the password reset request, and, I successfully was able to reset my password, Facebook then wanted me to confirm my identity with an email address I no longer had control of. All communications were with my primary free online email account which I do have control over; but Facebook insisted on trying to confirm my address with a completely different address from whenever I originally created my account, prior to all their added crap.
There is a way I can get into my account but it would cost me $$ and would have to provide Facebook with other information that I would in any other circumstance not be required to provide. So until then, I’m locked out of my Facebook account.
I was actually going to login to my Facebook account with the purpose of deactivating it but now I have no control over it at all.
