Some help required please!! Cancel friends now!

[idotry]

I exported email addresses to the facebook friend finder in order to contact an old expat but I accidently clicked the 'send invites' to my entire email contacts. I was so horrified that I have just deactivated my account incase some of these contacts (who no way could I chance snooping through my pictures) accept.

Presumbly, I can only unfriend once they've become a friend right? And because I cannot see/click on their profile I cannot cancel friend request either right? So what now?

You'll have to block them.
so, in the top search box, type their name, then when their info page comes up, scroll down and on the left you will see an option to report/block this person.
Do that.
Goodluck.

Ok, so what I've done is clicked on the privacy tab and added their email addresses into a block list (was unable to find them in the top search box) - so is that all taken care of silvery?

I should think so then. Fingers crossed for you

many thanks
