Growing pains have struck at Facebook once again, and it seems the social network hasn't quite solved its squabbles with disgruntled former members.
After launching a simple form to allow members to delete their accounts, Facebook had tried to answer complaints that it was keeping data from users who had quit the site. However, the simplified form had a few hiccups after its launch, according to The New York Times.
Instead of being able to delete their entire account, a handful of former Facebook users found that their profiles could still be located through a Google search. While most of the information in the account was deleted, the search still revealed the users' network of friends.
Facebook chalked up the incidents to a technical glitch, which it insists has now been fixed. While Facebook continues to grow as a social network, the company has taken heat from users, many of whom angrily rejected the site's ad platform, Beacon, last fall.
