To disconnect a third-party app from your Facebook account, follow these steps:

1. Log in to Facebook: Go to https://www.facebook.com and log in to your account.

2. Access Settings: Click on your profile picture in the top right corner to open the menu, then select "Settings & privacy." From the expanded menu, click on "Settings."

3. Navigate to Apps and Websites: In the left-hand sidebar, click on "Apps and Websites."

4. Manage Your Apps: You'll see a list of apps and websites that are connected to your Facebook account. Find the app you want to disconnect.

5. Remove the App:
- Click on the checkbox next to the app you want to disconnect.
- Click "Remove" to disconnect the app. A confirmation dialog will appear.
- Confirm by clicking "Remove" again. You may also be given an option to delete posts, photos, or events that the app may have posted on your behalf.

6. Complete the Disconnection: Once confirmed, the app will be disconnected from your Facebook account.

This will revoke the app's access to your Facebook data, and it will no longer be able to interact with your account. If you ever decide to reconnect, you can do so by authorizing the app again through its platform.
