Can facebook delete your friends without permission?

Does facebook delete your friends somehow?

• Okay, thanks for taking the time to read this! Let's just say that many of my friends will add me to their friends list, and then soon I'll see that some of my friends are gone out of my list. Every time I see my friends, they'll be like "Why'd you delete me?" and I have to tell them that I didn't delete them. It happened to me more than once, and I really need to see if I just clicked a button on accident, and if they can resolve the problem. Once again, thanks for taking the time reading this! x3

• Answer:

  From Facebook: "The issue you are experiencing is caused by one of the following reasons: - This person removed you from their friend list, either intentionally or accidentally. - This person has deactivated their account, causing them to disappear from all friend list. If they choose to reactivate their account, they will reappear on these lists." I just researched a bit as well to see if that has been what's happening with my account and stumbled across their website!
