Kpssst Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I was playing around with linking Facebook in the Peoples Hub on Windows 8. I ended up not liking the integration, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to unlink Facebook. I open up Charms, go to Accounts > Facebook, and all I see is an option to "Manage this account online." Clicking on that brings me to a Windows Live page that asks me to connect Facebook with my Microsoft account, but no option to remove it. I can go to Facebook and manually unlink Microsoft as an authorized app, but this doesn't remove the Facebook account from my Peoples hub. Now it just gives me a warning saying it can't connect to Facebook and asks if I want to reconnect. Anyone know how to completely remove Facebook? Thanks!

+KibosJ Subscriber² Posted November 16, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted November 16, 2012 That Microsoft page has a link at the bottom to "remove this connection completely" :) Clicking that should unlink it from your account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpssst Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 That Microsoft page has a link at the bottom to "remove this connection completely" :) Clicking that should unlink it from your account Clicking on the "Manage this account online" takes me to a page that asks me to "Connect with Facebook." After I do this, click on "Manage this account online" takes me to a page with the "Remove this connection complete" link. So I click on this, and it removes it from my Microsoft account online, but Facebook still shows up in the Peoples hub and still updates... Maybe it's impossible to remove :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doli Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 It should remove your Facebook people and updates in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guth Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I had a problem removing mine too. Once you get sent to the browser and to an MS page, click remove completely and then when I went back to people it was still there. So I did it all again, closed people and all other metro apps. Restarted and the connection was gone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpssst Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hey guys, thanks for all your help. Turns out the problem was that I had a bunch of Microsoft accounts linked together and I wasn't removing Facebook from the primary one (doh!). After clicking "Remove this connection completely," it disappeared after a while from my Peoples hub. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Method Man Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Windows 8 has Facebook baked into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guth Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Windows 8 has Facebook baked into it? Not really. But if you link a facebook/twitter acount, it will put all your friends/people you follow and their status updates/tweets into the "People" app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
