How Can I Remove LinkedIn Connections?
It’s simple to remove people from your network using LinkedIn. Here is what to do.
- Find the More… button just below the person’s photo and biographical information on their page, then click it. It will make a drop-down menu available.
- Choose the second-to-last option, “Remove Connection,” from the drop-down menu.
- If you use this method of removal, LinkedIn might notify that user that you went to their page. It only takes a few clicks after that to realize that you have unplugged them from your network.
Additionally, there is no confirmation box that asks you if you are sure you want to proceed with the action when removing someone. Therefore, before clicking Remove Connection, be certain that you want to do so; otherwise, you might end up having to suffer a little embarrassment as you send a new request to connect.
How to Disconnect a Connection from LinkedIn Secretly
Sometimes you want to remove someone from your professional life, but you also want to do it in a way that avoids resentment or ridicule. As a result, LinkedIn offers a feature that allows you to delete a connection without possibly hurting or destroying relationships.
- To get started, click My Network at the top of your profile page.
- Once on the Manage My Network page, look to the left for the Connections option. This will take you to a list of every connection you’ve ever made on LinkedIn.
- Next, use the search feature to locate the person you want to unfollow. Use their name, employer, and other identifying information to narrow down your search for the right contact.
- After locating the person in question, click the three dots next to the Messages button on the right side of their listing to reveal the Remove connection option. To remove that person from your network, select Remove Connection.
- Click Remove to confirm your choice. LinkedIn will not send a notification to the subject.
