Two of my friends were removed from my friends list but I didn’t remove them

You are correct , when some one adds you as a friend, you will see their profile in your followers list . Even though this will put you in their friends. You can verify this by going to your followers list and clicking on their profile and you will see
your profile in their friends list . It does not put you in their followers list. I believe you have three options that you can choose . Add them as your friend , which will move them from your followers list and into your friends list .You are now friends
and they should be removed from your followers. The other option is to do nothing and that person will remain in your followers list as your follower . They can remove themselves by clicking change friendship . They will no longer be in your followers and
you are removed from their friends list. The next option is you can remove that follower yourself by blocking and muting . This will remove them from your followers list. This is when they can no longer view your feed or add you as a friend or send messages
, unless you remove the block or contact them . I know this because I removed around 20,000 followers last year alone. Which is now just a trickle compared to what it was when the Xbox one was released .At least 90 percent of these people I blocked and muted
the instant I received the pop up notification .The rest were removed the next time I turned on my console .The reason I was removing them was because they never asked if I wanted them as a friend, they did not need my permission they were able to put their
profile on my Xbox which was taking up half of my day to remove them. When I did get to play it was spent removing people declining game and chat invites which crashed my game . Unwanted attention brought about people who were just intent on causing trouble
. And if I was not going to let them on my friends list , they just did it by force .Enforcement team had to remove 5 people who managed to get their profiles stuck in my followers list . This took about two years , so I had to see these people every day for
two years. After they were removed it was back to normal. Until a few months ago and they started it again . Only this time I am not receiving any help and I am back to looking at people on my console who refuse to leave I just want my privacy back, sorry
if this is long and boring it was not intended ,and is sure to be filled with errors .But II hope someone understands

Really guys? 2-3yrs and you're still going to let this happen?

UPDATE: I blocked one of my friends as a test and guess what?
They were removed from BOTH my friends and followers lists. These other
two spam accounts however do not suffer the same fate and
are permanently stuck on my lists.

FIX THIS. NOW.

Hey there, CrummyLoki6! This thread is a bit old. We currently have a service alert up about friends lists on our
Xbox Live Service Status page. If that is removed and you are still running into issues, please post up a new thread detailing what you're seeing and troubleshooting you've already completed. This way we
can get you the individual support that works best on the forums.

Did this ever get resolved? We're having the same problem.. A gamer just appeared in our friend list today, we didn't invite nor ask them. Now we can't get rid of them. Keep getting the same error as mentioned above. Very frustrating!

follow these steps:

1. Restart your console.
2. Sign in using your Xbox LIVE-enabled gamertag.
3. Ask someone from your friends list to delete you from his or her friends list.
   
4. Send a new friend request to the same person.
   
5. Sign out of Xbox Live, and then sign in to Xbox Live again. Then Try Remove the Gamer-tag you`ve been trying to remove from your Friends-List.
