Remove from favorites?

I burned a disk the other day, and that disk is long gone. But the disk name is now listed in my Favorites sidebar. How do I get rid of it?? No, holding down Command and pulling it off the sidebar doesn't do it. In fact, doing that doesn't remove anything else out of Favorites either, like Pictures or Dropbox.

Without knowing the Mac OS version you are running I can only advise this ... try Right-Clicking the item & choose "Remove From Sidebar".

Thank you. That should have been obvious. But no, it doesn't work. This is 10.11.6, BTW.

Onyx is a very, very good product, and I depend on it. You can get it from here:

Make sure to get the correct version for the OS you are using, which is V3.1.9.

Cool! Glad it worked. And glad you use Onyx. That excellent software sure has a number of hidden gems!
