How to Hide Your List of Friends on Facebook  

Do you want to hide your list of friends from people in it? Since May 2010 Facebook offers again the possibility to stop showing them on your profile. This guide will show you how to do it.

Once you have logged in to Facebook, on the top right of the page, click on the Account tab and then select the "Privacy Settings" option, which is the one highlighted in the next image:

Once you have done this, in the area titled "Basic Directory Information," click on the link that says "View Settings," which is the one pointed by the arrow in the picture below:

Once you have done that, you will be directed to a new page with a list of items. In that list, near the middle of the screen, look for the item that says “See my friend list”. At the right side of this item you will see a button. Click on it and a menu will appear, in which you will have to select 'Customize.' Then you will see a window with a drop-down list near a label that says “These people.” In that list, select 'Only Me,' and finally click on the button that says 'Save Setting.'

Keep in mind that, although your list of friends will not appear on your profile, there are still other ways in which people can see it, such as by using an application. This is because in December 2009 Facebook declared that all users' lists of friends are public information

Also, keep in mind that, during the next 48 hours after you unblock someone, you cannot block this person again.

How to Delete a Group on Facebook 

Want to delete a group you created on Facebook? This guide will show you how to do it.

Although there is no available link in Facebook's user interface to delete a group, the system automatically removes groups that have no members. Therefore, to delete a group, you first have to remove all its members and then leave it. If you leave the group without previously removing all its members, the group will remain there and you will lose your admin status, so you won't be able to delete this group anymore. This is the way to do it:

Go to the group you want to delete and click on the link that says "Edit Members" on its left sidebar. Then, on the list of all the members of the group, click on the big X at the right extreme of all of them except you, one by one. Each time you do this you have to confirm the action by clicking on the "Remove" button. Finally, remove yourself by clicking on the X at the right extreme of your appearance in the list. Although you will see a window that says that the admin status will be offered to other people in the group if you leave, this is not true in this case because there are no other members. Just confirm the action by clicking on the "Remove" button and the task will be done.
