Question:
I lit four chanukah candles instead of three.
Answer:
You should blow out the last candle (the fourth one that you lit. The last candle is not a candle of mitzvah, as you already lit the three candles that are mehadrin for the third night.

Shut Haelef L'cha Sholomo 380, Kinyan Torah 6-51, Kovetz Halachos 3-1
But we do not blow out candles with our mouth?
Better not with your mouth.
Ohel Moshe 2/69; Mishnas Sachir 2/199 say that one is put out all the candles and then light the correct number.
Couldn't find it inside.
