How do I make my followers leave me?
I recently had the Amazing Follower Tweaks mod, and I uninstalled it while forgetting I already had a follower in-game. Basically what's happened is my follower, Marcurio, refuses to leave my service. He gives me the dialogue, and the game gives me a notification that my follower has left my service, but he still follows me around. I've even gone straight to the point and tried setting my follower count to 0 in the console, but that did absolutely nothing. I'd like to keep him, so I don't want to kill him, but is there another way I can force followers from my service?
The icing on the cake is that whenever I activate him, instead of saying good morning or one of his usual lines, he gives me a taunt from the Throw Voice shout.
EDIT: For those who were unsure, yes I shut down the game before removing said mod.

There are a few things you can try. If this is a mod follower and you have the creation kit you can try loading the mod file and removing the actor's follower factions, then he won't follow you. And editing morality stats. I had the same problem when I tried to force Delphine to be a follower - she wouldn't leave.
if you don't have creation kit you can open your console and try the following:
Select the follower and type:
setav aggression 1 setav confidence 3
might get him to stop attacking you.
You might try: setav morality 1 or 0
Might make him ignore witnessed crimes.
set playerfollowercount to 0
You can also try (if you can figure out how, sorry I tried a quick search and couldn't find anything) to set the current follower faction (58C4E) ranking to -1.
Alternatively you could try addfac 58c4c (dismissed follower faction).
Also try: disable enable
And this might reset the NPC. I believe there is also a code to completely reset the actor but I can't remember it off the top of my head - but be warned, this resets everything, including their inventory, and they will run around naked for the rest of the game.
A bit long winded but I hope it helps. Cheers.

Answer 2
I would try killing him, taking a different follower, and then using the "resurrect" command. This tends to do a pretty good job of resetting follower status.
