Can I delete a Facebook contact from my iphone address book?

I picked the option to have my iphone sync with my Facebook friends list. I like this option for the friends I do keep in contact with via text and phone calls but there are some Facebook friends I would rather not have in my iphone address book. It's not that I'm not friends with them because if I wasn't I wouldn't have them on my friends list on Facebook but their not people I want in my iphone address book. Can I delete those names from my address book without them resyncing to my phone?

I have an android phone and my contacts sync from Facebook too. I was able to delete the contacts I didn't want but then over a time again they reappear in my contact lists. Err. Not sure, maybe you're just gonna have to delete it over and over. Hopefully, you don't have hundreds of friends otherwise you'd have to delete so much.

Yes, you can do that.

If you own an iPhone and have a Facebook account, you might have downloaded the Facebook app for iPhone. Unless you have changed the default settings so that your cellphone doesn't sync with your Facebook account, you might soon find that your iPhone contacts are displayed on your profile. Depending on your privacy settings, these shouldn't be publicly visible; however, you might still want to remove the data from your profile.
