Lost follower after deleting skyrim dlc
Okay so, my story's a bit confusing and I've been trying for five days to fix my problem so I figured I would ask here.
I had both dlcs for skyrim downloaded on PS3. Then one day I go to load my game and after the load screen (with the spinning things and info about the game) it just went black. I looked up how to fix it and it said delete the dlcs then reinstall them. So I did.
I was stupid enough to open the game (which I was in skaal village at the save) when the dlc was downloading and not installed. I wound up in riverwood and my follower (Calder) was no where to be found. After I reinstalled dragon born I went back to skaal village but he wasn't there. I tried waiting in solsthiem and in skyrim in case he was just catching up to me but that didn't work. I also tried the "go to jail" trick many times too (I got a 45 bounty for punching a chicken)
I tried getting a new follower but they all say I still have one so I can't get a hardy pack mule for all my quests. I have no idea what to do and it's just annoying me at this point.

You can try and force a companion change. I believe that one of the following quests will leave you with an empty companion slot after being completed.
After completing a quest from the ones above try and wait a week or two of in-game time and than go to the place where you would normally hire them. In your case go to Windhelmand search for Calder.
There is the possibility that having loaded a safe that was and playing without installing the DLC might have deleted your followers inventory.
If this doesn't work I believe that loading an old safe will do but if you lack one there is always the possibility to try and port your current safe to PC and using console bring back Calder.Keep in mind that this is not easy.

What do I do if I lost my follower in Skyrim?
When you have lost your follower, you should first try to retrace your steps. If you told your follower to wait for you, they will be where you asked them to wait. If you still can't find them, try using Fast Travel, your follower should reappear with you at your new location.Why did my follower disappeared in Skyrim?
You just need to be patient... Make sure you have a save available before he disappeared, then do what Purrington said, or wait for three days. By then, it should say "Your follower tires of the waiting" or something like that, in which case he will return to his starting place.Can you get followers back in Skyrim?
If you want to replace someone, you would have to dismiss your current one and ask the other to join. When dismissed, the follower returns to wherever you first found them (e.g. Lydia can be found at Dragonsreach in Whiterun).Do followers leave in Skyrim?
If told to wait, a follower will wait roughly three days before they get to leave the Dragonborn. They will then return to their home or the location where they were originally found.Skyrim: how to recover your lost follower

Answer 2
I have some solutions that might help, please be sure to let me know if they don't.
First go to any city with a king like whiterun for example. Ask the king to buy a house, sometimes is usually the servant next to him. Once you buy the house, sleep in the bed for three days. Your lost follower should be there or leve by that time. (This worked for me).
You're going to go to this custom location right south of Solitude. When you are in the path wait for a straight dog to come by, his name is Meeko. He's going to run to his shack all you have to do is follow him.
Once you are in the shack with Meeko, all you have to do is to talk to Meeko and ask him to follow you, he will get rid of any lost follower that you have. Hope this helped.
