Is there an easy way to remove Facebook friends in bulk? #1

My last job was at a bar that encouraged us to add customers, and everyone else we could in order to drum up more business. Now that I've left, I'd like to get rid of all those unwanted people, without going through the lengthy removal process FB has by default. Is there some service or something that will allow me to do so more efficiently? Thank you!

easiest way I can think of is by going to the facebook homepage, clicking "Friends" on the left side and then clicking "Manage friend list" (top, middle-right)

there will be an X beside all your friends and you can delete them like that. It beats going to each individual profile and clicking "Unfriend"

Deactivate your account and create a new one.

Considering this but tracking down all my actual friends again would be a pain too.

Right click the circle and hit "delete circle".

Simple.

Best way I can think of as well without getting a new account.

In short, no. Facebook deliberately makes it difficult because they want you to have more friends.

The easier way is to create a new friend list, and to block all of your existing content from them.

I had my friends sorted into groups, and recently deleted around 30 at once without too much hassle. Feels good man. If they weren't already sorted tho, idk if there's a fast way. Sounds like it's easier with google plus.
