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. 🙂
I made a mistake by getting on Facebook. Please remove my name & all records of me. I can’t find any way to do it.
Thank you
remove my fackbook now
How do I delete different list that were created for my friends? Example: my daughters friends, a list was created that says “my crazy step-daughters”. How do I go about deleting something like that? There are more list, this is just an example and no, there are no names/friends in these extra list either.
Thank you,
Ms Jane
thanks
Yes, unfortunately managing friends and friends list is no longer as easy. Here’s the instructions for removing a friend per the Facebook Help Center (located at the bottom right of your facebook page)
If you would like to remove a friend, navigate to the person’s profile and click the “Remove from Friends” link at the bottom of the page. If you select this option, you will be removed from the person’s Friends List as well. You will need to repeat the friend confirmation process if you wish to be friends with this person again.

Cannot delete my name from friends list. Everytime I try it deletes, but I go back and my name is still there. How do I delete my name for good. Don’t want Hackers….
Please help,
My own name appears under my friends list and I have no idea how this happened! I don’t know how to delete it either! Could you please help, it’s driving me crazy! I figured out to where it says “are you sure you want to delete Christine?” When I press remove, it does disappear, but when I go back into my friends list again, it’s there again.
Please help!!!
Christine
How do you do it with the new Facebook?
If someone defriends you do they have to request a friendship again in order to have you back on their list? I just got suddenly defriended by 3 of my daughter’s in-laws and I’m wondering whether they’re suddenly going to reappear on my list without my having to reapprove them.

How do I get off of facebook? Or be rid of my account at facebook.
For all of the people who asked about de-friending someone without them knowing.
Since I’m just not sure if de-friending someone results in a notification, I recommend you merely hide their status updates. It results in the same thing, you don’t see their stuff.
To do so, merely mouse-over someone’s status update. A button on the right side of the first line of their update will appear (hide) and, upon clicking that, you’ll be prompted to confirm that it’s what you want to do.
And the other person has no idea that you’ve hidden their updates.
Just a thought.

I deleted some files and all it seems to have affected are my facebook and mafia wars. I am using a Linux system. Is there anyway to delete facebook from my computer. I am hoping that by doing so I can reload it and it will replace the missing files. PLEASE help!!!!!!
I was friending a few people for my mafia wars application, but now when i try to delete them as a friend i dont have the option. Where the “X” is to delete them it only asks if i want to delete my connection with them. I do that and they still show up in my search box when i start spelling a name similar to theres. Its very annoying, help please?
Is there a difference between remove connection and removing friend? I clicked the X beside the persons name? does that mean they still have access to my facebook?
How do I get my name out of Facebook?

Thanks, this helps. I had a Xanga friend that I added on Facebook, and he posted about oral sex. He claims to be a Christian. It figures. I am not a Christian, because I think they are as filthy as he is.
I cannot get my facebook in English and I cannot find out how to change it because it is in a foreign language. What do I do.
will be sending your program to government as a py network ;;;
General consensus on Twitter is that if you unfriend someone on Facebook that they do *not* get any sort of notification. They’ll only notice you’ve done so if they try to look at your private profile, etc.
Can you unfriend a person without them being notified? I don’t dislike these people, but I don’t want my site cluttered with all their communications with others; I want to just keep a tight circle of friends and family. Many of the people who wanted to be “friends” with me have no interest in me anyway. It’s just so distracting every time I go on Facebook.
Is there a way to remove my profile on a person list of friends? It has recently came to me attention that this person is married. (news to me and it must be news to his wife) I do not want to be on his list. Is this possible?
Thanks
