Deleting facebook account without consenting to new EU ad policy or paying the subscription

Hello everyone.

A while ago I got the message on both Facebook and Instagram to either consent to viewing targeted ads or paying the subscription fee. I did neither, and it soon went away. Since yesterday though, I got it again and have no access to any part of facebook, most importantly the accounts section of the settings from where I can delete my account.

How can I delete my account without consenting or paying the fee?

Thanks in advance

Maybe try some mobile versions of Facebook Like m.facebook.com in my experience it has less features, and even less security features
