Whether it&#8217;s a personal choice or simply because you&#8217;ve lost contact with someone, you can delete the account of any friend without their knowledge. Here are the most common reasons. Whether you&#8217;re looking to clear out your inbox or you simply want to remove friends that have gotten too close, here are some methods for you to try.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_unfriend_a_friend_without_them_knowing\"><\/span>Can you unfriend a friend without them knowing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Can you unfriend a friend without them realizing? Yes, you can. You can block that person from seeing your posts, but they won&#8217;t know. Facebook offers a &#8220;grey area&#8221; so you can unfriend a friend without them knowing. While it may seem like a good way to get the person off your list, there is a downside. This option can leave you feeling hurt and angry, so you should proceed with caution.<\/p>\n<p>The Facebook unfriending process is not a secret. While removing your friend from your list isn&#8217;t public information, it is a simple process. Simply click on the person&#8217;s name and click &#8220;Unfriend.&#8221; That way, the person will not know that you&#8217;ve unfriended them, but you&#8217;ll be able to find them again easily through a search. When you do this, you&#8217;ll no longer receive updates from the person you&#8217;ve unfriended.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to unfollow someone, go to their profile and hit &#8220;unfollow.&#8221; Once they see your posts, you&#8217;ll have to click &#8220;Unfollow.&#8221; This will hide the posts from their News Feed. Unfollowing a person&#8217;s account is the last resort, but it may be necessary if your relationship is ending. If the person has been abusive, unfollowing them may be the only option.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_possible_to_unfriend_a_friend_without_them_knowing\"><\/span>Is it possible to unfriend a friend without them knowing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It can be difficult to unfriend someone without them knowing. While accepting a friend request is an easy process, there are a few steps that are required. Once you have received the request, you must login to Facebook to proceed. Once you have logged in, click the Account link, then click &#8220;Edit Friends.&#8221; Scroll down to find your friend, or type the name into the search bar to find them. Click the &#8220;X&#8221; next to their name to remove them from your list.<\/p>\n<p>Blocking someone on Facebook will prevent them from seeing your posts and messages, but will not prevent you from contacting them in any way. Unfriending a friend allows you to keep in touch with that person through other means. To unfriend someone on Facebook, simply visit their profile and click on the &#8220;Unfriend&#8221; button. If the unfriending person does not reply to your messages, then they may have unfriended you.<\/p>\n<p>There are various reasons why people choose to unfriend others on Facebook. Some people simply wish to weed out their friends list and remove those that they haven&#8217;t kept in touch with. Others unfriend others over content, such as political views, excessive negativity, or spam posts. In extreme cases, a person may unfriend a friend for stalking. This will make it easier for them to target others on Facebook and make their life harder.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_a_way_to_unfriend_a_friend_without_them_knowing\"><\/span>Is there a way to unfriend a friend without them knowing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing you should know about Facebook&#8217;s unfriending process is that it won&#8217;t notify the person you have unfriended. While unfriending someone isn&#8217;t the same as blocking them, it will still let them view your posts. You can unfriend people without them knowing via the usual process of friending them again. If you don&#8217;t mind hurting someone&#8217;s feelings, there are a few ways to do so without the person&#8217;s knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>One way to find out if someone has unfriended you is to check their list of friends on Facebook. If they don&#8217;t have a list of friends, you can click on the &#8220;Add Friends&#8221; button. You can then send them another friend request. If you have lost contact with the person, this is a good way to find out whether they&#8217;ve deleted your friend request.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d prefer to unfriend a friend without them knowing, you can use a method that doesn&#8217;t require a Facebook login. Go to the Facebook website and click on the &#8220;Account&#8221; link. After that, click the &#8220;Edit Friends&#8221; button. Scroll down the page until you find the person&#8217;s name. You can also search for their name by typing their name in the search box. Once you&#8217;ve found the person you want to unfriend, click the &#8220;X&#8221; next to their name and click the &#8220;Remove Friend&#8221; button. If you want to re-friend them later, you can simply use a new account with the same name.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dp8ElRgYa-k\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"455\" height=\"254\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete All Facebook Friends There are several reasons why you might want to remove some or all of your Facebook friends.
