This works buddy, thanks

Having issues with this where it will only remove half of the member list. It goes down the left or right hand column only.

Thanks :-) This script save me hours of work.

I have hundreds of IDs to exclude, but the
var excludedFbIds = ['1234','11223344']
portion has a limit on the string.
Please suggest a modification.
thank you

still works flawlessly, many thanks...

Extremely useful. I removed a group of 6.500 users with the script.
Only, i have had to restart chrome several times as it was collapsed.
To search the facebook ID i used that link: Search my facebook ID

Is there a way to modify this script to delete hidden members that do not show up on the member list? I've got only a few I need to delete, and can put their id in, but don't want to enter 100k+ ids to exclude.

It does not work for me?
Why?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Updated a new solution, tested on chrome: https://gist.github.com/kencarino/3be7c5ee0bec39da99a05639c0fc2673
