How to Remove any Friend on Facebook

Occasionally, you may want to remove a friend from your Facebook friend list. Perhaps the individual is a former coworker you no longer communicate with or a friend of a friend that you don't really know. Maybe you are just trying to get your friend list down to a reasonable number. The process of removal is a simple one. Even though Facebook does not notify anyone of a change in friend status, your name disappears from the individual's friend list when you remove his name from your own list.

Things You'll Need

Instructions

1. Log in to your Facebook account.

2. Click the "Friends" link on the left side of your home page under your profile picture thumbnail.

5. Click "Remove from Friends" on the confirmation pop-up screen.
