Large language models (LLMs) can memorize sensitive, private, or copyrighted content during pre-training, making machine unlearning necessary for removing targeted knowledge. Recent preference optimization (PO)-based unlearning methods improve stability over gradient ascent (GA)-based methods by introducing alignment-style objectives, which effectively suppress the probability of forget targets. However, target suppression alone does not sufficiently constrain the next-token distribution after unlearning. Existing methods provide limited control over how suppressed probability mass is redistributed and insufficiently adapt forgetting strength to target confidence and distributional concentration. Even after target suppression, probability mass may remain concentrated on a few non-target tokens, potentially producing repetitive or uninformative outputs. To address these limitations, we propose Reference-free ADaptive Negative Preference Optimization (RADNPO), which explicitly guides next-token probability redistribution. Specifically, RADNPO contrasts each forget target with alternative tokens favored by the current next-token distribution and adaptively modulates token-level forgetting strength using target confidence and next-token concentration. Experiments on TOFU and MUSE demonstrate that RADNPO achieves a better trade-off between forgetting quality and model utility than current baselines.
