How do I removed a blocked person from my followers list in Twitter?

[Jason H]

I have people who I have blocked in Twitter. They are still showing up on my followers list as blocked. They are still being counted as followers. Is there a way to remove these people from that list for good?
The blocked people have been on my list for at least 2 weeks. I tried reading Twitter's help page but it's a joke.
Found the solution elsewhere. Yes, they can be removed. If they don't come off immediately now, just unblock and reblock them. I finally got 20+ people off my list doing that yesterday. This morning, I blocked them once and they were gone. Twitter must have been working on the site since I noticed it. Glad it's fixed.

My friend is having this problem too..she said she checked the Twitter Announcment board page or whatever and it said they are having some technicle difficulties with the site so things aren't working properly but they should be back to normal soon.
So just wait it out for a day and maybe tomorrow they'll be taken off--or you could contact Twitter to see if something else is going on.
Hope it helps!

[you could also just @reply the person and ask them to please stop following you]

Oh You cant remove them because they will still be counted as followers but when you block them they cant send you messages or anything so thats good!
