Tell a Friend 404 errors in Google Webmaster Tools

I have deleted folder includes/modules/pages/tell_a_friend and have switched off the sidebox as per the FAQ on the subject but I am still getting heaps of 404 errors reported in Google Webmaster Tools. Is there anywhere else that this should be deleted / modified ??

cheers,
Mike

Re: Tell a Friend 404 errors in Google Webmaster Tools

Um, if you deleted the page, then you probably WANT the 404 errors to hit Google, so that Google properly de-lists it and finally stops attempting to index it.

That's normal.
