Footer Widget Area

I added a Footer Widget Area to the Style & edit Footer section using the below code

<?php bfa_widget_area('parameter=value¶mater=value¶mater =value'); ?>

not realizing that this was a sample. However, it worked and at the beginning I was able to add three widgets. My problem now, is when I change the code to the correct syntax.

<?php bfa_widget_area('name=My new widget area'); ?>

it won't let me remove the widgets I had originally added. I always get an error...

Basically, I can no longer add Widgets to any area now...
