Tips

culture
Unlike Western social platforms where 'unfriend' is mostly Facebook-specific, 删好友 on 微信 (WeChat) is a serious social move - WeChat is the universal messaging tool, so cutting someone there severs work, family, and friend channels at once. There is even an etiquette around saying one last thing before deleting.
usage
Compare with related WeChat actions: 拉黑 (block), 屏蔽 (mute / hide their posts but stay friends), 设置仅聊天 (downgrade to chat-only without Moments access). 删好友 is the most drastic of the four.
