Quick Steps to Unfriend People on Facebook

1. Go to the person’s Timeline.

2. Click the Friends button. A menu appears that is for assigning people to Friend Lists. The last item in this list is Unfriend.

3.  Click the Unfriend link. A window pops up asking if you’re sure you want to remove this friend.

4. Click the Remove from Friends button. Take a moment of silence. Okay, that was long enough.

Note: People aren’t notified when you unfriend them, but people who care about you (that is, family, close friends) have a tendency to notice on their own that, hey, you’re not in their list of friends anymore.

This can sometimes lead to awkwardness, so it might be worth using your privacy settings to further limit these people’s knowledge of your life before you unfriend them.

 Lots of people go through periodic friend-cleaning. For example, after changing jobs or moving, you may notice that you want to keep in touch with some people from that chapter in your life; others, you just don’t. Unfriend away.
