Cannot Delete A Friend

I received an email request to confirm a friend.  I accidentally hit Confirm.  I do not know that person, and cannot find them in my Friend List to delete.  I am concerned that this is a Virus Email that will affect my Facebook Account.

Do you still have the email showing who requested you as a friend?  If so you can get the name that way.

The remove friend button is all the way on the bottom left hand side of the page for the person you want to remove.  You do need the name in order to do this though.  I have had this happen to me, but I immediately removed the person.  Sorry you are having such a hard time.


Good Luck!
