Use this interactive demo to learn how to remove a connection from your LinkedIn network.

Quick summary

To disconnect from someone on LinkedIn, navigate to My Network, open their profile, and use the More menu to remove or unfollow the connection. This process lets you remove a connection or simply unfollow them without fully disconnecting.


Steps

  1. Click My Network on the top menu of your LinkedIn dashboard.
  2. Go to the Network overview and select the connection you want to disconnect from.
  3. On their profile, click the More button beside the Message button.
  4. If you follow them, select Unfollow to stop seeing their posts or activity (note: you remain connected).
  5. Or select Remove connection or Report/Block to fully remove them from your network.

📌 Why this matters

Managing your LinkedIn connections is essential for keeping your professional network relevant and focused. The ability to disconnect, unfollow, or block contacts gives users full control over who appears in their feed and who can see their activity. For professionals curating a high-quality network, knowing how to remove a LinkedIn connection quickly saves time and reduces unwanted noise. This demo shows the exact steps to disconnect from someone on LinkedIn without leaving any ambiguity about what each option does.
