how do I delete Facebook account in setting on iOS7

I changed my email address on facebook, here's a problem. I can't set up facebook account with my new email, then I tried to delete account.

even, when I open the facebook app, asking me to set up in setting...

Deleting the facebook app didn't work on my iPad because that kept asking me to set up in setting.

or should I wait for fixing this by apple?

Yes, this worked for me! I had changed my email address on my FB account and this was causing the problem with the iPad. So, I added back the old email as a secondary email and I was able to successfully log in to the FB account in the iPad Settings, which had my old email address stored. Once I did that, I deleted the FB account and relogged in with the new email. Now everything works. Thanks for this suggestion!

This was the solution for me. I changed my Facebook email address well over a year ago. I found on my new iPad I obtained earlier this year that I could not install the Facebook app. Whenever I tried it shot me back to tell me to set up my ID in settings. In settings I could not do that as it thought my ID was still the old one and there was no option to delete or change. Even the Facebook app would not give me the option to sign in under a different ID. I assume the answer was that in my IOS data was the old email and when I restored from backup it kept restoring the old email address in the background with no evidence it had done. Resetting the location and privacy setting to the default cured it. However, the app itself ought not to shoot you off to settings but give you the option ofinputting your current email address and password.


Thanks for the solution. It has saved me hours of working ahead restoring the iPad manually bit by bit to avoid old defaults going in!
