Many times have I decided to clean up my profile a bit. I only was able to remove 5 at a time (it's very tedious), and a lot of the time the changes don't save so I had to do it again. Full support.

You just need to click the favorite button 350 times, it's very possible to do in one day. However, humans don't like putting in effort, and would prefer a quicker method.

Yeah, I'd prefer to not have the stuff I liked when I was 10 and a meat person sweeped under the rug.

Many people are mentioning that it only saves 2 clicks, or 1 click. But even if it saved no clicks (or was extra clicks) it would still be useful. Because currently, the only way to unfavourite projects is to go to the project and click the favourite button. Which means changing sites - and if your internet is slow, or the project is big, (or both), that can take ages! Plus, sometimes when the page is lagging it doesn't register when you click the favourites button.

I don't think a double click or extra dialogue would be necessary - after all, when you remove a project from a studio, there's no warning. Would a warning really be necessary when unfavouriting projects? Maybe a popup (for lack of a better word) appearing in the bottom of the screen saying " was removed from your favourites. Undo, and upon clicking “undo”, the project would be refavourited. This popup would disappear automatically after a few seconds - that way, it allows for an undo while staying unobtrusive.

Support! I accidentally favorited a project and it took 6 hours for it to be removed on my favorites list

I unfavorited 800 projects in a day but it would be faster if there was a remove button, so I support

lm1996- autocorrect was getting on my nerves

Support for these reasons, but I would want the popup to be for 5-10 seconds.

I had to unfollow 200 people one time. You can do it!

Also support, I see no reason to have to manually go to the page to remove my favorite.

Hmmm what about on a phone?

Support.
One question though, I can't see the cross button! Was this removed with 3.0?

Ehhh, no support.

It's really not that difficult to go to a project and click the favorite button again. Also, how many times in the history of your Scratch life have you needed to unfavorite a project?

I mean, I used to click the favorite button even if I didn't like it (yes I know very stupid) and now I have 868 favourited projects.

A couple of times, when you have looked at a project that you have saved for later or you have found a better set of projects that spell out something like “I don't usually favorite projects”
So if this is only done a couple of times, is it really that difficult to go to the page and click the favorite button?

He does not mean he has to unfavorite a couple, he means he has to clear out a whole bunch. I currently have 669 projects that I have to unfavorite.
…why…?

Are you ask why do I want to unfavorite them or why do I have so many?
Why do you want to unfavorite them?

Well, I'm my case, I'm deciding whether to put ‘I don’t usually favourite projects' on it or I would just favourite a few projects that I really like. And I previously favourited those projects because I was new and I favourited projects without hesitation. And many other Scratchers have the same problem.

yes
(wow a lot of qoutes)
