As I understand you can delete the individual items of frr_list array like this:

I assume that you will be deleting the individual items of frr_list by frr_id (which is _id which is generated by mongoose)

User.update({ _id: userListId, user_id:currentUserId //filter record by userListId and currentUserId },

        { //now pull the required row from the array based on _id of array
        $pull: { frr_list: { _id: frr_id } } },
        function(err,result){
            if(result.ok==1 && result.nModified==1 && result.n==1)
                //successfully deleted
            else if(result.ok==1 && result.nModified==0 && result.n==0)
               //no record exist
            else
               //something goes wrong
        });
