Not to sound like I’m becoming antisocial, but a woman who’s on my friends list on Facebook turns out to be quite the kind of person I don’t like to associate with. Can’t say more than that, but I need to “defriend” her (unfriend her?) How do I do that??
Uh oh, sounds like trouble in Facebook paradise to me! 🙂
Fortunately, it’s remarkably easy to defriend someone on Facebook, just a few mouse clicks. First off, select “Friends” from the top navigational bar:
Notice here that within the “Friends” area, I’ve also selected “Friend List”. You’ll want to do that too.
Now scroll around until you find the profile of the person in question. It’ll look approximately like this, though obviously we’re not talking about the same person! 🙂
Note the link on the lower right, “Remove Friend”. That’s what you want to select. Click on that and you’ll get a confirmation dialog box:
If you’re really sure she should get the proverbial boot, click on “Remove Friend”, otherwise click on “Cancel” and they’ll never know that they were on the very edge of the abyss. 🙂
Is there something wrong with having Asians friends? Why use an Asian individual in your example? Why not use a white person since your readers are unlikely to have any Asian friends: http://goo.gl/4800VD

Hi, I defriended someone on Facebook. Now I want to refriend them. But, I don’t know who I defriended. How can I find the people I defriended? Thanks a lot!
My friend set up her facebook on my pc. she has my permission, we have seperate e mail adresses, now my mobile facebook thinks and says I am her! please help me fix this!!
Hi,
Your instructions to delete a friend seem to no longer be valid. In additions, those listed under Facebook’s Help function also do not work. The options aren’t available. The unfriend option is also no longer available when using the app on my iphone.
Please can you advise as a once basic process now seems impossible or has a bug.
Thanks
unfortunately Facebook has undergone several changes, and these instruction are obsolete. How do we defriend someone in 2012? thank you! 🙂
I have the same person on my Facebook two times, one is by mistake, how do I remove this one?
I created a second FB account, one for friends and one for the political threads I like to chat on. Problem is that in doing so I’ve managed to lock myself out of my first account. Then when I tried to add friends to my new account (friends from acct 1), I can’t find them (I think FB is blocking me from seeing them.) Any suggestions? I know other people with 2 accts, but I think my mistake was using too much similar info (name, phone #, DOB) and now I can’t seem to change that basic info either. I am considering deactivating acct 2 and trying again. I would really like to keep my first account going.
hi,

Sorry, Sergio, I can’t recommend any utility that is going to dig into my personal Facebook data, even if it’s for an account I am about to shut down. Readers, please be wary of any app or site that promises to do things on your behalf on Facebook or any other social networking site…

How can you remove someone from my freinds list,who I know for a fact is dead?
When I delete someone from my fb do they later get a suggestion to be my friend?
Unfortunately he will be notified: the notification is generated as soon as you click the button. Even canceling your account (which seems a bit excessive, if I can say so) won’t change that.
I accidentally ‘like’ a comment by someone who isn’t my friend. Will he be notified? Furthermore, immediately after that I deactivated my account. Does it ensure that they won’t be notified? Please please help me! I feel so embarrass if I see them in school!

am realing enjoying google but no email address my is google is the best web ever. Thankz.
Zoe (backing up a bit), I’d check that your status updates have a default distribution of “friends only”. Then if he’s not a friend (suggested by you not being able to unfriend him) then he won’t see them and won’t be able to leave comments.
Vincent, sorry to hear about your cousin’s death. Here’s an informational page on Facebook that talks about this situation: http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=13941&ref_query=death Sounds like the request might need to come from his mother or father, btw. Good luck.

I want to delete some friend how can i do this?
ASMA, I can’t help you. I’m not affiliated with Facebook. But I do have an article on how to delete your Facebook account here on the site: just search for “delete facebook”.
Lori, yeah, I’m glad you’re seeking more info because it’s up to us parents to ensure our kids are safe. Step #1: require that your daughter share her password with you so you can pop in occasionally and ensure that she’s only friends with people she knows. #2: Screen her FB friends and talk candidly about those who post inappropriate content.
In terms of knowing previous interaction, there’s no log of that sort of thing I’m aware of on Facebook. Sorry.
DELEET MY FACEBOOK
My 11 year old daughter recieved some very, very disturbing postings that she (luckily) didn’t understand. She immediately “unfriended” the person. I was able to review the offending vulgar comments thru email. How can I check the past history between the two at this point? I do not know this person, I don’t know their phone # How can I get in touch with the parents?
P.S. I had no idea that bad words were allowed on facebook!!! Prior to this , we had a “Webkinz” account… There lies the extent of my computer knowledge… Thanx
i WANT TO BE REMOVED FROM FACEBOOK, I DON’TG WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANYMORE I FIND I AN TRO OLD FOR THIS KIND OF STUFF.
Somebody has posted my name on Facebook with a mean picture. I would so much appreciate it if you could remove it. I’m not sure if I was the intended “victim” or someone else with my name; however, since I have never used Facebook, I’d like it removed asap. Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.
