Go to android settings - apps.
Find facebook in the apps list.
Click on it and select uninstall.

Thanks Nigelar
Tried that -settings -other-more settings apps, but facebook still shows in the my apps on homescreen
is ther anyway to remove it from My Apps ?

Assuming the app has uninstalled it sounds like the screen icon has somehow persisted. Highlight the icon (dont click on it) and drag it up to the top of the screen. You might see an "x" or something similar or you might be able to swipe it off the screen.

If you want to remove core/system apps that are baked into the firmware, it might be possible with something like Titanium Backup Root - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en_GB
HOWEVER... we don't support the application, and if anything goes wrong when modifying apps, your warranty may not cover you. (Realistically unlikely that it will be something a factory reset can't fix, so as long as you're comfy getting to Android's Recovery menu, you should be OK).
