There is a difference between deleting and deactivating facebook accounts. You may be able to bypass this problem by deleting the account, rather than deactivating it. Note below.
How do I permanently delete my account?
If you deactivate your account, your timeline disappears from the Facebook service immediately. People on Facebook won't be able to search for you, though some info, like messages you sent, may still be visible to others. We also save your timeline information (ex: friends, photos, interests, etc.) in case you want to come back.
If you don't think you'll use Facebook again, you can request to have your account permanently deleted. Please keep in mind that you won't be able to reactivate your account or retrieve anything you've added. Before you do this, you may want to download a copy of your info from Facebook. Then, if you'd like your account permanently deleted with no option for recovery, log into your account and fill out this form.

If this doesn't work, you can go to the Facebook Developers support:

This Stack forum Web Applications, may be more suitable for this type of question https://webapps.stackexchange.com/faq I tried searching it and could not find a similar question.
Let me know if this doesn't solve your problem.

Is it possible to update an existing live Facebook app with new permissions?

I have a Facebook app which is currently live, but would like to add additional functionality which involves requesting additional permissions (mainly publish_actions). The new permissions, due to Facebook policy, need to be reviewed by their team before they can be used live.
Is it possible to use one app for this? Is there a way (and is it acceptable by Facebook) to lead the user down a different flow if they are a tester, rather than a user during the review process?
I've also looked into the possibility of a test app, but I'm not sure if it's possible to flag that the app to review is a test version, which would then be approved on the live app. Facebook's FAQ seems to suggest this is not possible.
I'm not marking this as a definite answer, as it's a bit hacky and I have no confirmation that this will work until the review process has been completed. However, you can use the FB API to determine whether the user viewing the app is a specified test account or not by adding conditionals based on the user ID. It will also help if you make the test account an automatic user of the app on user creation.
For example, if you want to include new functionality, check if the user ID is a specific test account ID or not. If it is, display it. If not, display something else.

Facebook refusing to approve my application - Permission to mention pages

Facebook, a multi billion dollar organisation won't fork out for some live chat agents. Instead I'm stuck in a loop asking for approval, them not reviewing my app properly and giving me a cut/paste response. They say they monitor here, so here's hoping.
Nobody but me will ever use my app. It's a PHP page that posts to our radio station's Facebook page timeline www.facebook.com/BCnowplaying every hour or so, music that's playing on Budgie Collective.
We don't want to spam, this is why the nowplaying page is separate to our normal page.
The app works. All it does is grab a token, store it and post info to the page periodically.
I asked for permission to mention pages. And it was like I divided by zero. I only want this to mention pages of the DJ that compiled the mix that's on air (which is a sanctioned mention, as they have asked for this)... so that when their mix comes on, they are notified.
When I ask for the app to be granted this ability, I get told to show how the public will log in and use the app, and to give sample user accounts. Of course I have explained all this when requesting the permissions. But I keep getting knocked back. Nobody will talk to me directly and every time I re-explain and submit, I have to wait for several days to be given an answer that has nothing to do with how my app works. It's like they aren't even reading the submission.
What can I do next?
Since you're the only one using the application, there is no need to apply for approval. Owners of the application can already use the permission without going through the submission process.
By asking for approval you are basically telling Facebook that you want the public to use the mention feature as well.
So the solution here is to use the app as is and just change the settings to public in Settings > Status
Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?
Switch to yes.

Facebook app removed

My Facebook app has been removed twice from my developer account and my page for non-compliance with facebook guidelines. The first reason invoked was "Give users control over what they share through your app." My voting application shares a message on the timeline of the user for every vote and we have set the right permission for this.
I don't really have any explanation for this situation, especially as I have already launched several applications of this type.
It has happened to me many times already, Facebook is getting more strict with the Privacy Policy compliance.
You can solve this by using the Javascript API to give the user an option to share your content via Facebook's Share Popup instead of forcing the action.
Hope this helps!
I faced the same situation and what i did was i changed the way of sharing. Before sharing anything the user was presented with a preview window and in that contents to be shared was shown and the content will get shared only once the user clicks Submit.
This solved the problem.
Thanks

How to permanently delete my Facebook application

I have created a Facebook application that I don't want to use anymore. I deleted it from my developer account and from the related Facebook page more than a week ago but it still appears in the Facebook search engine.
I know similar questions have been posted, but I have no longer access to the admin of this application, meaning I can't change the user accessibility of the app.
How can I avoid this?
Sounds like a bug by Facebook. You might want to post a bug report here. A solution which might help next time: Switch on the sandbox mode, then delete the app.

How do I Recover a lost Facebook App

I created a Facebook app ad then inadvertently removed all admins (including myself) from the app. Now I can't manage it. Our website is still referencing the app id, and we are still posting comments using it, so I know it still exists in the system. I don't want to create a new app and lose all those comments. Is there a way to recover the app or move the apps' comments to a new app id?
I've used this form to get access to Developer Operations staff that have been able to help me with similar requests.
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/1838825039720902
Also, if the app was deleted, it can often be restored via https://developers.facebook.com/appeal/
If an application is deleted there is no way to recover it. As far as removing all the admins from the application, this is not something the Admin console allows. You should have been presented with this message when doing so ... "Must specify one developer with admin permissions." ...
