At one point in your Facebook experience, you must have allowed permission to Third-party apps, websites, games, and services. This permission enables them to keep your data even if Facebook doesn't have it anymore. Unfortunately, there is no direct way to remove the permission except to contact the App maker or admin to help you remove the access, you can do so through the steps listed in Facebook's instructions and simply ask them to remove the data. Fear not as these companies are mandated through Facebook’s terms and conditions to delete your Facebook data if you ask them to do so. To contact the individual apps, games and websites, you should visit their privacy policy pages. Few of the privacy pages of Facebook connected apps and platform are
