LinkedIn makes it easy to cull members from your network. Here's what to do.
1. On the page of the person you wish to remove, look just below their photo and biographical information and click the More... button. It will populate a drop-down menu.
2. In this drop-down menu, select the second to last option called Remove Connection.
3. When you use this removal method, LinkedIn may let that user know you visited their page. After that, it only takes a few clicks to realize you've removed them from your network.
