From computer
Delete friends from Facebook
To be able to delete friends from Facebook from your computer, the first step you need to take is to connect to the main page of the social network. To do this, open the web browser you generally use to browse the net, type www.facebook.com in the address bar and press the button Submit on the keyboard to connect to the main page of the social network and then fill in the appropriate forms located at the top right by typing the email address or telephone number with which you have chosen to register on the social network and the relative password. Once this is done, press the button Log in.
Now that you see the Facebook home, click on the search bar located at the top, type the name of the person you want to delete and click on his name that appears among the automatic suggestions.
In the page that opens, that is the profile page of the selected person, position the mouse cursor on the button Friends and select the item remove from your friends from the menu that appears to complete the operation.
Clearly, if you think about it, you can always add the person previously removed from the contact list to your friends again. How? Very simple: by going to the profile of the latter and pressing the button add to friends present on the cover image.
Obviously keep in mind the fact that if deleting friends from Facebook is an operation that can be carried out without having to wait for a response from the other party and without the latter being notified of the thing, sending a new friend requests in case of second thoughts is instead a procedure that inevitably implies not only the display of a special notification on the profile of the other person (consequently he will also know that you had previously deleted him from your friends list) but also requires approval by the latter. Take that into account.
