Delete your Facebook Friends
A non-neglictible part of this blog’s readers come for my Facebook scripts, which aim at automating a few things via javascript. One of those readers recently suggested a utility for automatically deleting friends. The reason for that is that he’s so popular he hits the 5,000 Facebook friends limit and can’t add any of the 11,000 peeps that sent him a request 
So, a workaround would be to first delete all of his current friends to make room for the new ones.
Now, my solution is not perfect because Facebook displays friends within a 50-items paging system. Which means you would need to run it 100 times to get rid of all your friends. Still, that’s a 50x improvement ratio if you really do need to delete your friends. The code is the following:
var remove = $$('a.remove');
for (var i = 0; i < remove.length; i++){
remove[i].onclick();
$('dialog_button1').click();
}
which you need to run at http://www.facebook.com/friends/?all. I also wrote a Greasemonkey script here or at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/24199. Hope that helps somebody

I’m wondering if this still works for you? I was testing it and though it comes up in my greasemonkey scripts it doesn’t seem to run. any thoughts?

Thanks for this! I modified it to delete friends from a certain group as when you delete from a group you get the option to remove from list or delete & then you need to confirm the deletion.
var remove = $$(’a.remove’);for (var i = 0; i

Did anyone get this script to work with the new facebook???? I got about 600 friends I mass added for mob wars to delete…….and the script doesn’t seem to work.

how do you run the script sorry new here
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:43 pm
I agree. I would love a working copy of this where I can select only the group to delete from… I’m afraid to even try it currently as I don’t want any of my real friends removed…only the Mobwars and Mafiawars groups/lists.
April 16th, 2009 at 8:22 am
How do you run a script? I mass added for mafia wars too and would love to delete 50 at a time instead of one! thanks!

Facebook started letting us remove about 20 friends at a time every 48 hours, based on those people who are no longer friends on our Mafia Wars game.
this is simply not fast enough for me.. do you know the script that we may run ourselves?
I have tried to copy and paste the browser 411 but to no success! ty

Great post. Nice blog design also, troubling to see your RSS feed though :S
October 9th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
I just gave your script a run, had to update the URL it runs on I suppose because Facebooks URLs changed. I got it to run, and it actually goes through each individual on my list one at a time and marks them as deleted. However, they dont actually delete, and stay on my list.
Has their been any updates or work arounds made to your script to support Facebooks new updates?

Protect a skid steer loader with one of the easiest anti-theft devices ever invented.
The tread pattern is minimal - not as deep as a pneumatic tire while requiring a greater
inflation pressure. Read on to see if the Schwinn Joyrider Jogging Stroller is able to really provide what the
hardcore joggers need in their jogging strollers.
