How do I get my follower to stop following me when I do not know where they are?
I am trying to get Faendal back as a follower, but he says I already have a follower. I am pretty sure I do but can't find him. The follower I'm trying to get rid of is Windhelm's house Carl. I've tried to wait and see if he decides to become bored and leave, I've also tried to check my houses, I've fast traveled and even that doesn't work.
I'm on Xbox One, no mods. Can anyone please help me?

You've mentioned you've already tried fast traveling and that does not work, which is typically the first thing I do when I lose a follower.
You've also mentioned you've checked your houses. Which ones?
Have you checked Hjerim, the house in Windhelm? That's where he first appears, after you've purchased the home. He can also be found in the Sky Haven Temple if you are a Blade.
How long did you wait? If you told the follower to wait somewhere, he should get bored after a full day and then return home to Windhelm.
Since you are playing on Xbox and cannot use console commands, you can also try saving to a new slot, restarting the game, and then reloading the save.

Just tell them it's time for them to go home and they'll leave. Unless you've ever used some mods on the character you're playing as that somehow messed that up, in which case it's anyone's guess.How do I get Lydia to stop following me?
