Hi. I have a problem adding friend. Error 422. I know there’s a 99 friends limit but I’m below that number and still get this error.

Server Version#: 1.41.0.8994

I have 87 friends but when I access [https://plex.tv/api/users/?X-Plex-Token=xxxxxxxxxxxxx](https://plex.tv/api/users/?X-Plex-Token=xxxxxxxxxxxxx) I can see my current friends and a few friends I removed months ago. Why do I still see removed friends?

Found another topic with the same problem:

So can I remove these friends via command line or something?
