In my case, none of the suggested remedies here in this topic helped me. Then I went to the Temple of Kynareth and used the shrines added by the Unofficial Skyrim Patch (clear unwanted visual effects), and it removed the dead ice wraith. If you have this problem, install that mod (it should be installed anyway - this mod cures a zillion bugs) and visit the Whiterun Temple of Kynareth post haste.

Only because this was brought back to the front page again, i would like to say....The Post you are referring to, was posted after this thread was started. This happens a lot because Google will point people to a thread that is years old.
The Sticky (the post you are referring to) was started JAN of 13...THIS topic was started DEC of 12......IF anyone reads the first page of this topic you will see that "Steve40" mentions he just Started the topic that is the "Sticky".
just sayin...

The ice wraith attatched to player's feet was. for me, caused by a mod that changed what happened to dead ice wraiths. The mod turned them into a body rather than an ice pile. This particular mod is an optional file in the Posessive Corpses mod by Amgepo, a bug fix.
I should qualify this. The only place I had the Ice Wraith attatch to the feet was when exiting Clearsky Hideout, a house mod. The ice wraith outside the house appears to be already bugged.

SOLUTION FOUND!!!
Alreet... I have found that this is the only solution so far! But it is a solution!
in the console:
player.addspell 000CAF8A
then type
player.removespell 000CAF8A
the player.sexchange command does not work, as soon as you reload a save the wraith is back... But the add and remove works perfectly!
I hope this helps others who have run into this issue! Happy hunting!
Worked! Thank you!

Haha, I had the same issue, I'm choosing to just keep my little ice wraith buddy on me. We shall leave trails of ice together. It didn't disrupt my gameplay so I figured it was fine.
