The first is to click the three horizontal dots next to their name, then select Unfriend. Once you have clicked on Unfriend, you should confirm that you want to delete this person. You can also unfriend all of their friends if you&#8217;d like to. This will delete all of their posts from your News Feed as well. Once you&#8217;ve confirmed that you want to remove this person, you can select Confirm and delete them from your list of friends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfriending_can_happen_for_a_variety_of_reasons\"><\/span>Unfriending can happen for a variety of reasons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The number of unfriended people in a community can vary. It may be intentional, or it may be the result of mutual decision to break up. The two people may have decided to go their separate ways offline or online. Some people choose to unfriend someone they know in person, while others just want to disappear from their lives entirely. Regardless of the reason, there is nothing worse than losing a friend for no apparent reason.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most common reasons for unfriending is disagreement with a person&#8217;s views or behavior. Other reasons include a change in the relationship or disliked behavior. According to a study of more than 1,500 Facebook users, 55% of unfriended people unfriended each other for reasons other than their online posting behavior. Sadly, most unfriended people do not receive a notification when they are unfriended. To remedy this problem, some people install third-party software that will alert them to the unfriending.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_unfriend_someone_without_them_knowing\"><\/span>You can unfriend someone without them knowing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to unfriend someone from Facebook without them knowing, you&#8217;re not the only one. Facebook makes it easy to unfriend other people, and removing them from your list won&#8217;t make them aware of the move. If you want to unfriend someone on Facebook without them knowing, however, you have to go through the normal friending process first. Here&#8217;s how to do it:<\/p>\n<p>There are a few reasons to unfriend someone on Facebook. Sometimes, a person may want to &#8220;weed out&#8221; their friend list, removing people they don&#8217;t communicate with regularly or don&#8217;t know well. Other times, unfriending someone is motivated by the person&#8217;s content, including political views, spam posts, and other inflammatory material. In extreme cases, people may unfriend people for stalking.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_unfollow_someone_without_unfriending_them\"><\/span>You can unfollow someone without unfriending them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unfollowing a friend on Facebook will not remove them from your friends list. It will only remove the content they post to their timeline and page, but you can still communicate with them through private messages. The process is simple: you can click on the downward-pointing arrow next to their post to unfollow them. You can also use News Feed Preferences in the top menu bar to prioritize the content you want to see, as well as reconnect with someone you&#8217;ve unfollowed.<\/p>\n<p>While unfriending has many ramifications, you can unfollow someone without unfriending them. Unfollowing means that you no longer want to see the posts from that person, so unfriending doesn&#8217;t have the same social implications. If you feel uncomfortable sharing your thoughts with someone you don&#8217;t know, you can block them from seeing your updates. If you feel strongly that the person has offensive content, you can also block them from seeing your posts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_block_someone_without_unfriending_them\"><\/span>You can block someone without unfriending them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to block someone from Facebook without unfriending them, you must know the difference between unfriending and blocking. Blocking someone on Facebook is different from unfriending them, and you may want to recover your deleted Facebook account. Facebook gives you plenty of control over your profile and allows you to block content and contacts that you find annoying. It also lets you express your opinions on desktop and mobile.<\/p>\n<p>Besides blocking a person&#8217;s profile, you can also choose to hide their account. By hiding their account, you can prevent them from contacting you in Messenger. Blocking them from your profile means that they cannot view your posts, comments, and timeline. If you wish to communicate with them, you can unblock them. But make sure to remember that unblocking will keep them from seeing your public posts.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"438\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ML15kfDCqSE\" height=\"245\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete Someone From Facebook If you wish to delete someone from Facebook, there are several ways to go about it.
