For good measure, keep an archive of your Facebook information offline in case you need to retrieve something from there in future.

If you care enough, let your friends and important Facebook contacts know that you're leaving. If you need to keep in touch, let them know where else you can keep in touch.

Transfer any important Facebook pages that you have created and wish to keep. Maybe to another Facebook account or to someone else.
