Featured Slider showing dots/links for more slides than set for

My featured slider is set to show 3 slides. When I go to the site, it does carousel through those three pages, but the dots on the bottom of the slider show 6 slide dots. So if I click on any of the dot links 4,5, or 6, they lead don't show any featured page and the slider actually disappears. I have tried changing the number of featured pages, refreshing, resetting, etc. I even tried adding 6 pages instead to fill up the dots, but then it changes to 8 dots. I don't know where the extra dots/featured pages that aren't there are coming from. How do I delete them?
