How to Remove a Favorite Contact?

[random omen]

I accidently added a person to the Favorite Contacts Widget and now I cannot remove that person from the widget! How do I do this?

I went into the contact and unchecked "Favorites" from all of the listed items I could uncheck it from. I thought this would work but the contact remains on the widget, but now it only prompts me for a default action (call, e-mail, etc.) The contact consists of two e-mails, a phone number, and facebook link. I suspect the facebook linkage has something to do with it but I am stuck at this point.

PLEASE HELP! I hate being this much of an android noob.

Edit: SOLUTION BELOW

People > Groups > Favorites > Menu > Delete Group Member

I had the same issue. I removed the widget and added it back again after I removed the contact from the group "Favorites"

I'll give that a shot. Don't shoot me for this next question: what's the widget called? I didn't see it on my list of Widgets!

It's the People widget

u have to go into the actual contact and uncheck all the "favorite" boxes. to me a while to figure this out

I said I did that, Success100. I went into the contact and unchecked as many Favorites boxes as I could find, and the contact still remains in the widget.

I will try removing/replacing the people widget once I get near my phone.

What success said is what you do. Open up each contact and remove then from the favorite group. You do this by editing each contact clicking on groups and un checking favorite

Negative - that does not do the job! The contact remains on the favorites list even after removing membership from the "favorites" group! That being said the contact still lists "favorites" as a group it belongs to, which confuses me since nothing is selected to be in that group.

The contact consists of this:

1 Phone Number
1 Gmail
1 AOL mail

Groups: Favorites, Co-workers, Friends. HOWEVER: NO FAVORITE BOX IS CHECKED FOR THE ABOVE, ANYWHERE. I also went into my Gmail contacts account and physically removed the "Starred in Android" group membership.

The contact is Linked to a Facebook account. If I remove the Phone & Gmail links the Favorite remains the Facebook profile photo and requests a new default action when tapped, so I'm confident it has something to do with the facebook link. However, after I separate the links, the favorite remains. How do I fix this? Arg!

This is driving me batty.

Ok, I just deleted the contact entirely and the Favorite contact remains. If that doesn't remove it...

I've removed them from this list this way. You could always start a favorites 2 list and re add the widget using this list.
