I deactivated and scheduled to delete it (the option which was so well hidden that time) my account 3 yrs ago and created a new one but with same email account earlier this year. FB magically showed me all my 190 friends in the friend suggestions. I guess they never deleted any of my information.


Friendship is a symetric relationship.

It could be the data that X email is/was friends with Y is data relevant to Y and thus retained even if X deletes all of his/her info.
