Why did my friend suddenly delete 200 friends off his Facebook, including me?

[Maxxxim]

He told me that he was planning to delete his Facebook but he's still there! After he deleted me and blocked me, I searched him on Facebook and I found him. He had deleted 200 friends, which is odd because I haven't done anything to anger him. He likes me too but we're not close friends. He commented on a photo of mine, saying that he loved my new hair cut before he deleted me and 199 other friends. I confronted him about this matter and he told me that he deactivated his Facebook but I know this is a lie since I was able to find him on Facebook with my alternate account. I have my own friends, it's just that I like him too and I know we won't be able to see each other very often since we live 2 hours away... but why the sudden delete?

Is he just cleaning up his Facebook? Why now? Doesn't he think about the future, in which he may need those contacts for job references or connections?

Thank you all for your kind answers in advance!!
Eric, you know you are a troll to be posting an image like that on this question.
What is that even an image of? Is that a picture of you?
