How to Delete All of Your Inactive or Unwanted Facebook Friends at the Same Time

Facebook makes it extremely easy to keep in touch with family and
friends, while maintaining those relationships with little to no
face-to-face contact. It's the perfect tool for recluses.
But,
while having 1,000 Facebook friends may be "cool" to some, it's pretty
unlikely that all of those people are really "friends." As the web
continues to grow, so does online threats, which means keeping a tighter
grip on who can access your information has never been more important.
I
mean, would you really want someone you met once at your friend's
sister's quinceañera to have access to everything you have on Facebook,
like that sultry photo of you licking some drunk girl's chest?
Though, that's the type of photo you need to only let certain friends see, otherwise, good luck with that job interview...Unfriending
friends on Facebook is not difficult. All you need to do is go to that
friend's page, click on the settings button (the gear symbol) and hit
"Unfriend...."
You
can also remove friends by filtering your activity log to show only
your friends. The just click on the Friends button and proceed to
unfriend.
But
if you want to delete a bunch of "friends," this process can be very
time consuming. Thankfully, there is an extension available on Firefox
that allows for mass deletion.First, install the Greasemonkey extension to Firefox, then restart the browser. After restarting, go to this page to install the "Mass Facebook Friends Deleter" userscript.
Once
the script is installed, two new options will be available in the
Friends tab on Facebook. "Delete all Friends" and "Delete Selected
Friends."
I
doubt I need to explain further how this works. But now you can delete
those inactive and unnecessary "friends" in just a few minutes, rather
than spend hours clicking, clicking, and clicking.
