You can filter contacts by choosing settings in the people app and tapping on filter contacts list.
Uncheck FB over there

Do you mean by contacts that when you open the phone app (dialer) and access contacts from there?
there is currently no way to remove the contacts from there. it wil show as many contacts as you have on your phone through apps. You can go to people app to view the ones that have been shortlisted by you

Try selecting the option "hide contacts without phone numbers" and see if that helps. it's a little weird that so many Facebook contacts still show up with both options deselected. Otherwise, if you want to completely remove contacts from Facebook, go to the People hub > three-dot menu > settings > add contacts and click Facebook in the list. This should open up the Facebook app, which will present a screen with an option to 'connect with my phone'. Uncheck this option, and your Facebook contacts will be removed from the People hub. Do note that Facebook integration with the People hub will also be removed (such as posts in the what's new section).
