I don’t know if I’m going blind, or what, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to remove somebody from my Facebook “Friends” list. I selected “Edit Friends” from the “Account” dropdown menu, but that only gets me options to _add_ more people. Any idea how to do this? ---

Go to the profile of the person you want to delete. On the left side, under their profile picture, under the list of your mutual friends, under the list of their friends, are two lines: Report/Block this Person Remove from Friends Click on 'Remove from friends" ---

Thanks, that did the trick. They sure do hide those links well - I had to keep scrolling past several more boxes to finally get to them.
