Teaching Facebook

If you would like to remove a friend, navigate to that person’s profile and click the Unfriend link. The Unfriend link is on the left side of their profile, beneath their highlighted friends.

If you choose to unfriend someone, you will be removed from the person's friends list as well. If you want to be friends with this person again, you'll need to send a new friend request.

No, but all friend links are reciprocal, so you will be removed as a friend from their friend list as well.

To block someone:

1. From your Account dropdown menu, select Privacy Settings.
2. Next to Block Lists, click Manage Block Lists.
3. Enter the name or email address of the person you want to block in the appropriate field and click Block. People will not be notified when you block them.

If you can’t find someone using this method, try going to the person’s profile page. You can block them by scrolling down to the bottom of the left column and clicking the "Report/Block This Person" link. Once you click this link, check the "Block this person" box and then click "Submit."

If you still can’t block someone using the methods described above, it’s possible that they have left Facebook or have restricted their privacy settings. You can still prevent them from viewing your profile by adjusting your privacy settings.

No. Blocking someone is completely confidential, and the person will not be notified that he or she has been blocked.

On the Requests page, you can delete pending friend requests as well as hidden friend requests.

First, click on the limited profile friend ist from your Friends page. Then, open the drop-down menu to the right of the friend you would like to remove and uncheck "Limited Profile." The friend will be removed from your limited profile but remain a Facebook friend.

Friend removals are not caused by a technical error on the site, as it is not possible for a friend to be removed without confirmation from one of the users involved. The issue you are experiencing is caused by one of the following reasons:

1. This person removed you from their friend list, either intentionally or accidentally.
2. This person has deactivated their account, causing them to disappear from all friend list. If they choose to reactivate their account, they will reappear on these lists.

If a large number of friends disappeared from your account in a short period of time, it is possible that the security of your account may have been compromised. Please select a unique and complex password that is different from other passwords that you use on the Internet, and keep this information completely to yourself. You can reset your password by using the "Change Password" field on the Account page.

You should also make sure that all email addresses associated with your account are secure. Remember that anyone who can read your email may be able to also access your Facebook account. Additionally, please make sure that you log out of your Facebook account after each use and "quit" your browser when you’re done using the site. Never check the "Keep me logged in" box when logging in from a public computer or someone else’s mobile device, as this will keep you logged in even after you close your browser window.

Finally, please make sure that when you access the site, you always log in from a legitimate Facebook page with "facebook.com" in the domain part of the URL (web address). For more information about protecting your account, please visit the Facebook Security Page.

By default, anyone on Facebook can send you a friend request. If you’d like to modify who can send you friend requests:

1. Go the Account menu at the top right corner of Facebook and choose Privacy Settings.
2. Next to the Manage Settings for How You Connect heading, click Change Settings.
3. Select your preference from the dropdown menu next to “Who can send you friend requests?”
