The EASY way, which was already posted on here. . .

Press and hold down the COMMAND key; drag and drop the unwanted icon in the sidebar off the edge of the page, which will DUMP it.

Thanks Greg, I have been searching for a simple way to remove old sidebar items and I can DEFINITELY confirm that dragging and pressing cmd deletes the offending items.

Thank you very much for the post and most for the update! I was getting mad with a missing file link in that sidebar (no selectable and not ‘remove’ option at all, so no other ‘easy’ choices available to delete this item)! MANY THANKS!!!

Or right click (control click) on the item in the sidebar and choose remove from sidebar.

From the “future” I must thank you! I was getting super annoyed about those folders staying there when I’m a person who wanted to keep it simple…. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
