Most of the Facebook users still think that they don’t have an option of deleting ‘pending friend requests’ on Facebook i.e the friend requests that are sent by you but haven’t accepted or rejected (pending for approval) by the other user. Actually it’s possible and the way of doing that is quite simple too. Unlike orkut we can’t do that directly from the user’s profile, rather you have to go to your ‘Friends‘ page. Just follow the steps given below,

  • Go to Friends>> All Friends from your homepage, given on the top nav bar.
