If you can’t unfriend someone in Roblox and receive the “Unable to unfriend user” error, it’ll mainly be because of server-related problems.

The good news is that these issues are often temporary and typically resolve themselves within a few hours. In the meantime, you can check when Roblox will be up by verifying its server status.
