How do you let go of old acquaintances?

I'm turning over a new leaf and I've decided to cut ties with some old contacts I no regularly converse with.

I need to delete them but I feel bad about it, because I still consider them friends, how do I let go?

    Your memories are what is holding you back. You will always have those. Its painful to do at first but you just have to rip it off like a bandaid and just do it. You have to remind yourself of the reason why you did it and how it benefits you whenever you feel the built happen. I've had to cut a few people out and I've done it by both telling them and not telling them. Both were equally painful to me and I still have memories but they don't phase me now compared to when I first cut ties with them.
