The final answer is
RIDDLE - the question and the solution
- You cannot get rid of me now.
- Before being led around,
- The middle of one, don't ask how.
- Apply glue to the two and you've found
- The thing which you've just solved.
- It's also down there, below the fold.
First and third lines:
Taking 'the middle of one' - we get the middle word of line 1 - rid.
Second line:
Gives dle - anagram of led
Fourth and Fifth:
Putting the two together (apply glue) gives RIDDLE - what we just solved
Sixth:
The answer 'RIDDLE' is down below the question in the tags

$\begingroup$ I think with fold he means what seperates the question with the answers, and your answer, which is also the hidden riddle, is here below that line. $\endgroup$– RnRogerDec 16 '17 at 13:07

$\begingroup$ @RnRoger it could indeed be that... I'm going to wait for confirmation from Rand before adding because I'm pretty sure I've missed some stuff out. Good observation though! :) $\endgroup$ Dec 16 '17 at 13:09

$\begingroup$ You've got the right answer, but there's a lot of clues you haven't explained. You say "The first two lines contain the words ...", but the riddle is better constructed than that: you're not just meant to pick out random words :-) Also, lines 3 and 6? @RnRoger's guess is close but not quite what I intended. $\endgroup$ Dec 16 '17 at 13:42
