Some friends post too much or too infrequently, posting cat videos, political rants that contain misinformation, or purposely inflammatory rhetoric. While these posts are not necessarily harmful to the conversation, they do take up space on your timeline and may even make it difficult to keep in touch. If this sounds familiar, you can read more about how to remove friends from Facebook in this article.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfriending\"><\/span>Unfriending<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In this article, we&#8217;ll show you how to remove friends from Facebook. Facebook users can delete any friend they don&#8217;t want to see any longer. To do this, click on the three horizontal dots next to the friend&#8217;s name. Once there, click &#8220;unfriend&#8221; and confirm if you&#8217;re sure that you&#8217;d like to remove that person from your list. If you have too many friends, you can select all of them and unfriend them at once.<\/p>\n<p>To remove a friend, simply click on their name on your Friends page and then select the &#8220;X&#8221; in the upper right corner. This action will remove all of their posts from your news feed. However, you can always return to their profile to read their posts. You can also limit access to posts and contact preferences from their timeline. This will ensure that you&#8217;re not bothered by their posts in the future. However, if you&#8217;d like to keep in touch with friends that you&#8217;ve lost contact with, you can do so by clicking on their names in the list.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking\"><\/span>Blocking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Facebook allows you to stay connected with many people, there are times when you just don&#8217;t want to see their posts. Some people use Facebook to post cat videos or political rants that are filled with misinformation. These people just don&#8217;t have a reason to be on your friends list. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to remove friends from Facebook. Here are the top three ways you can get rid of someone from your friends list.<\/p>\n<p>If you have blocked someone on Facebook, you can easily unfriend them by clicking on the person&#8217;s name and clicking on the three horizontal dots next to their name. From here, you can select &#8220;Unfriend This User&#8221; and confirm your decision. Or, if you&#8217;d prefer not to unfriend them entirely, you can choose to select &#8220;All Friends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restricted_list\"><\/span>Restricted list<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re concerned that someone you know is on a restricted list on Facebook, you can unrestrict their access to your page by following these steps. After you&#8217;ve added a friend to a list, you can delete them by following the steps below. First, log into the official Facebook website and click on &#8220;See More&#8221; to view your list. Next, click on &#8220;Manage List&#8221; or &#8220;Edit List&#8221; and select the person you want to remove from your list.<\/p>\n<p>You can also remove someone from your Friends except list by clicking on their name. Go to your profile page and find the &#8220;Friends&#8221; section underneath your profile photo. Click &#8220;Edit Friend List&#8221; and select &#8220;Remove Friends.&#8221; This will remove that person from your list. You can remove as many friends from your list as you wish. But remember to follow the instructions carefully, or you may end up burning your bridge.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporary_removal\"><\/span>Temporary removal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To remove people from your friends list, you must know how to unfriend them from Facebook. You will not receive a notification when you unfriend someone. But, this doesn&#8217;t mean that you can forget about them, as you can always re-friend them. You can also delete their account.

You&#8217;ll be able to view their stories, but they won&#8217;t be able to view your profile. This option is only temporary. You can re-friend them if you want to keep in touch with them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_friends_one-by-one_or_all_at_once\"><\/span>Removing friends one-by-one or all at once<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to keep your privacy intact on Facebook, it is better to maintain a list of genuine friends.
