Through the Xbox console? You simply go to the profile of the person you'd like to add and you'll see Add Friend from there. From your Profile, you can press the white Xbox power button on your controller to bring up the side bar menu, and going one tab
to the left will bring up the list of your current friends.

how do you delete and then re add? i signed out and signed in with another account, it showed friends. I can see my friends on the website also.

I haven't tried this in a bit, but I am sure it is still a cumberaome process. I beliebe the only way to allow them to add a friend is to go back in to the settings menu and Privacu & Saftey and then I think Online Safety and allow them to add friends.
You can do this flip it to allow, let them add their friend, then flip it back. I believe you are allowed to have a their friend aend them a request, and then tou can accept it, but it is pretty cludgy.

I would love to see a capability where they could initiate a request, and come back to me to approve it. This has been a long time issue.
