     Determine the severity of the unfriending. If you are removing a distant acquaintance to thin out your list of 750 Facebook friends, the pain will not be great. However, telling your best friend you are unfriending her could set off a bitter feud. So proceed cautiously. Unfriend only if necessary.

     Once you're sure of your decision, log on to Facebook and find the "Friends" tab. Under "Friends," select "All Friends." Scroll down the list until you find your friend's name. There is an "x" box to the right of the name beside the "Add to List" option. Click on this box.

     When you unfriend someone on Facebook, you disappear from your former friend's friend list. Your friend is not otherwise informed. You can still view your friend's Facebook profile if it is public, but you have no other access.

     Though Facebook says removing someone cannot be undone, you can add your friend again just by hitting the "Add Friend" button. However, you may have to come up with an embarrassing explanation why you need to add your friend again.
