How do I remove "Bookmark Bar" folders in Safari Bookmarks?

My Bookmarks sync fine between my iPhone and iPad, except that iCloud keeps creating "Bookmark Bar" folders. They are driving me crazy because I cannot delete OR move them out of the way.
There are now SIX unused (empty) "Bookmark Bar" folders making it rediculously cumbersome when I try to scroll down to my actual Bookmarks.
PLEASE, oh PLEASE HELP! How can I remove all those "Bookmark Bar" folders?
I am on iPad2 and iPhone4 with the latest iOS. I tried turning iCloud "Sync Bookmarks" off, rebooting both devices, and turning Sync back on. That seems to be when iCloud wants to add even more empty "Bookmark Bar" folders.

Ok, so...ARGH!!! The solution was SO SIMPLE that I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out.
Long story short: I was able to delete the "Bookmarks Bar" folders (15 in all!) from my PC (Win7). AND, the process did NOT delete all my existing iDevice Bookmarks (YAY!).
So, in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread with the same issue:
Open iCloud on your PC
Turn on option to sync bookmarks with IE
   ('yes' to merge bookmarks- This step does not delete your existing bookmarks on your iDevices)
Make sure your iDevices are set to sync bookmarks in iCloud.
Next, open your "Favorites" in IE on your PC and right-click/delete all "Bookmarks Bar" folders.
Voila! Done! No more Bookmarks BarS...although there will be ONE that will not go away. One is better than 15:)

  • How do I remove Bookmark bar from screen

    How do I remove the bookmark and reading list from my screen ?

    Hi, Mickey1690.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I would need clarification on the issue and what operating system you are running that is experiencing this issue to provide a better answer.  However, it sounds like you want to hide the bookmark and reading list in Safari.  Here is an article that I would take a look at if this is the case.

  • How do I remove bookmarks when the star at the end of the bar is white, not blue?

    I am trying to clean out my bookmarks and certain ones will not go away. The bookmarks that continue to appear even after I have clicked "remove bookmark" are those that do not have a blue star at the end of the website address line. The star at the end of these addresses is visible, but is white (or unfilled), not blue like the ones that have been deleted.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    I inadvertently added an incorrect spelled word while using Safari and gmail in composing a message, how do I remove a learned spelling from the  safari dictionary.  I think it is in the safari dictionary because the word was underlines and not highlighted as gmail shows mispelled words.

  • How do I remove bookmarks from the bar?

    I have too many bookmarks on the bar.  Some that Apple put and others that I added that I don't need now.
    Thanks

    Easiest way is to Control Click (or 2 finger tap the track pad) and then select Delete from the pop up menu. You can also go to the Bookmarks menu and select Edit Bookmarks.

  • How to Properly Remove iPhoto Alias Folders

    Hello Team,
    Over the many years as an iPhoto user, I have made many upgrades to my iPhoto Library. I have noticed that each upgrade comes with its quirks. The one that is recently bugging me are the alias folders that are created within iPhoto when you 'Show Package Content' in Finder.
    For example, showing the contents of iPhoto shows that my files are no longer located in the 'Originals' folder, but now in a 'Masters' folder. I have a 'Library6.iPhoto' along with a 'Library.iPhoto'.
    There are a few other alias folders that I'm sure came with upgrades since when I create a fresh iPhoto Library, none of those folders are present.
    So my question is...  "How do I (or iPhoto) remove these folders properly?"
    I'd like to have all the photo nice and clean with the most up-to-date file hierarchy and not some fragmented linking from yesterday. Why does Apple do this? Is there a good reason?
    Also to note, I have tried copying a smaller library with the same issue and tried rebuilding the database, library, thumbnails, etc without any luck of making them disappear.
    Thoughts??
    Thanks!!

    Was hoping there was an Apple sanctioned consolidation tool that would convert everything to the new heirarchy.
    The "Apple Sanctioned" consolidation tools are the iPhoto Library First Aid tools. They will rebuild the iPhoto Library in exactly the way how it is supposed to be organized.
    Back up your library, hold down the ⌥⌘ command keys, launch iPhoto and run "Rebuild Library". The result should be very similar to what you are seeing now. However, rebuilding shpuld only be done, if iPhoto is not working properly or before a software upgrade, that will reorganize the library.
    If you want to access your photos, there are more versatile and safer ways than digging around in the package:
