However, their ability to generate harmful or undesired content poses significant safety risks. Data-driven unlearning methods suppress targeted generations by fine-tuning model weights using specialized unlearning objectives. Crucially, these objectives implicitly rely on multi-step denoising dynamics, an assumption that breaks down for few-step distilled (FSD) models, resulting in ineffective forgetting. Furthermore, performing unlearning on the non-distilled base model and subsequently re-distilling it to obtain an unlearned FSD model incurs substantial computational and time overhead, making it impractical in many settings. Hence, we address this limitation with a preference-driven unlearning framework that revisits Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) for diffusion models. We show that standard DPO and its unlearning derivatives, formulated around noise-prediction error, transfer poorly to FSD models due to their altered generation dynamics. To overcome this, we introduce a modified preference optimization formulation explicitly aligned with the few-step generation properties, enabling direct concept removal in FSD models while preserving few-step efficiency and maintaining strong retention of desirable (non-targeted) capabilities. We evaluate our framework primarily on identity and NSFW (nudity) removal tasks and also extend our method to object-level unlearning. Extensive experiments demonstrate consistent and effective forgetting, and strong retention performance, establishing our method as a practical and principled solution for unlearning in FSD models.
