How to Delete Unwanted Folder from Favorites Sidebar in Finder?

In the finder, by mistake I created a folder on the left side under the favorites category (you know along with Pictures, Music, Movies, Downloads, Documents, Desktop, Applications, Airdrop and All My Files)
So far I've tried highlighting the untitled folder and hitting delete, tried dragging and dropping folder to desktop, and tried dragging folder to trash. None of these worked! Does anyone know how to fix this?
Or at least has anyone else had this problem or if you're still confused I will try to clarify better, question may be little confusing.
THANKS!

Hold the Command key down and the drag it off the sidebar. A Puff of smoke will form and when you drop it that smoke will go Poof.

    How to delete photostream folder from camera roll on iphone 4

    Since this is a user to user help forum only, no one here knows. If to be included with the next firmware update and a fellow user is privileged to this info in advance, they aren't allowed to say.
    If you didn't want a photo or photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone in the first place, why did you transfer the photo or photos? And since you should be syncing your iPhone with iTunes often, what difference does it make? If you need space on your iPhone for some reason, you can delete a movie direct from your iPhond that was transferred from your iTunes library to free up much more space with a single swipe than a few photos that you chose to be transferred from your computer.

  • How to delete unwanted apps from itunes

    how to delete unwanted apps from itunes cant figure it out

    What do you mean delete from iTunes? You can't do that on an iPad. You can delete apps in iTunes on a computer. If you want to delete an app on the iPad, tap and hold down on the icon until the icon wiggles, then tap the  X appears on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button when finished.
    You really need to explain in more detail what you wNt to do. Maybe this will help.

  • How do I delete unwanted folder from my email?

    I am using yahoo email and was wondering is there a way to delete unwanted folders from my email? I have tried deleting them but I get a blank box and can't proceed until I name the folder that I do not want. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thank you.

    Check your account settings with Outlook for removing or deleting messages from the server when downloaded by Outlook.
    The iPhone's email client includes the same settings, as do all email clients for a POP account.
    I would handle this with Outlook. Delete and recreate the account with Outlook, and before checking the account for new message with Outlook, select remove or deleted messages from the server when downloaded for the account preferences with Outlook.
    All messages available on the server will be downloaded again by Outlook, and removed from the server when doing so. You can mass delete all messages from Outlook.
    When deleting and recreating the account with the iPhone's Mail client, none of these messages will be downloaded by the iPhone's Mail client after being removed from the server when downloaded by Outlook.
    Or since you likely have webmail access for this account using a browser, you can mass delete all messages available on the server via webmail access. After deleting the messages from the server, delete and recreate the account with the iPhone's Mail client.
    An IMAP account is much easier in this regard, which is designed to be accessed with multiple email clients on different computers or devices.
    A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client on one computer or device.

  • How to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar app on Yosemite?

    I upgraded to Yosemite and one of the problems I had with Calendar App had something to do with Time Zone.
    I realized that Calendar added California time as default. So now I want to delete the unwanted time zone, but cannot find a way to do so.
    How does one remove or uncheck a time zone in iCal (Mountain Lion)?
    I found this forum and tried, but as the last person who posted said, it doesn't work on Yosemite.
    Does anyone know to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar App on Yosemite?
    Thanks.

    Thank you for your response.
    However, I am not asking about how to change the timezone on Mac. I'm asking about how to delete unwanted timezones on Calendar app.
    Here I have 2 Pacific Time's. They are basically the same, but sometimes my computer choses one of the other without my intention. And when it does, it keeps showing (PST) on next to the starting time which I do not want. In order to avoid that, I'd like to delete "Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles)". From the link you provided, I'm not finding the solution to this. I might be looking at a wrong spot and if so please be patient to guide me through.
    If my question still doesn't make sense, please click the link to the solution for the same problem on Mountain Lion in my original question. You might understand my question better from it.
    Thank you.

  • How to delete the Folder from sql server 2008

    Hi all,
    I was trying to delete the folder from sql server 2008 with the below script
    DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files
    DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(8000)
    DECLARE @folderName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup
    SET @folderName = + (CONVERT(varchar(10), GETDATE()-7, 112))  -- 7 days back date folder name
    SET @path = 'I:\Backup_Test\' + @folderName -- Folder path
    SET @cmd = 'del ' + @path -- Delete
    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
    --Print @cmd
    This is not working it was asking the Confirmation (I:\Backup_Test\20100629\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? ) what will i do to the delete the folder.
    Thanks,
    Prasad R.

    I would notice   you that T-SQL does not play well to do things like that. Do not you want using .net language to delete folders?
    Old method is
    declare @HR int, @CFOLDER varchar(255),@FSO int
        set @CFOLDER='D:\folder\'
        EXEC @HR = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FSO OUT
        EXEC @HR = sp_OAMethod @FSO, null, 'DeleteFolder', @CFOLDER 
    Now regarding to your second question please examine xp_fileexist  system stored procedure
    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_file_exists(@filename VARCHAR(300))
      RETURNS INT
    AS
    BEGIN
      DECLARE @file_exists AS INT
      EXEC master..xp_fileexist @filename, @file_exists OUTPUT
      RETURN @file_exists
    END
    GO
    -- test
    SELECT dbo.fn_file_exists('c:\a.txt')

  • How do I a folder to 'favorites' section on finder?

    Hi, please could someone explain how i could move my 'pictures' folder to the favorites section on finder because i have to use spotlight search to find my pictures folder which is a bit of a pain. Thanks for any help

    Hi If you know the name of the picture folder. All you have to do is use the top menu go/ go to folder. Type in the name and click go. If you have Iphoto, you could put the folder on the desktop and import it. Or put it in your applications folder if you do not want to do that.

  • How to delete unwanted addressee from address bar?

    When I want to send an e mail and want to type in the addressee in the address bar as soon as I type the first letter my addressee will appear in the address bar but so will others I did not put there.
    How can I delete the unwanted ones?

    Both applications are made by Mozilla.
    Thunderbird is the email application and Firefox is the Web browser application.
    In the future, I suggest posting Thunderbird email questions to the Thunderbird forums:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/thunderbird/get-community-support
    You begin typing an address and the auto-complete feature offers addresses that you would like to remove.
    Go to the Thunderbird Home screen and select '''Address Book''' at the top.
    Then select '''Collected Addresses''' on the left-hand side.
    Select the address you would like to remove and then click on '''Delete'''.
    Also check the '''Personal Address Book''' to make sure the address you want to remove is not listed there too.

  • HOW TO DELETE UNWANTED ALBUMS FROM IPHONE LIBRARIES

    synced in a bunch of unwanted photos to my i phone. How do I delete the ones I don't want on the phone?

    They're DEFINITELY pushing Apple users that way. I just saw yet ANOTHER new/incredible feature the Galaxay can do that Apple (I mean Tim Cook) can't even DREAM about doing.
    At this point, it's becoming an embarrassement to even own an iPhone. *sigh*

  • How edit / delete unwanted stuff from icloud?

    As a non US resident I've only yet had a look at "purchased " in the app store.
    Our household (like many others) have multiple users and devices.  Some apps (ie games with violent content) are not suitable for younger children. This was up until now managed through different profiles when syncing with the Mac.
    How is this managed with Icloud?
    Other apps are no longer interesting (ie apps downloaded in connection to a music festival or sporting event last year... ).  These have been deleted in the itunes library and are no longer found there or on any of our devices .  But they all of a sudden reappeared under "purchased"  in the app store making it a really long list. 
    How do I completely remove these?

    The iTunes update states:
    What's new in iTunes 10.3
    Introducing iTunes in the Cloud beta. The music you purchase in iTunes appears automatically on all your devices. You can also download your past iTunes purchases. Where you want, when you want.
    • Automatic Downloads. Purchase music from any device or computer and automatically download a copy to your Mac and iOS devices.
    • Download Previous Purchases. Download your past music purchases again at no additional cost. Your purchases are available in the iTunes Store on your Mac or in the iTunes app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer on the iTunes Store.
    The point that is made in presenting this feature is that even if you delete an application by accident you can get it back as long as it is still availible for sale. Thus not making you pay for an item again. I like that feature. But out of the 432 apps I have purchased (actual number), there are none that I won't admit to getting. The feature to never want to see an app would be a nice option. Suggestions should be made at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ as they do read the submissions!

  • How to delete unwanted photos from iPad

    After choosing the photos I want to delete from iPad, even I touched "DELETE", nothing happens!
    I would be grateful if anybody can help me on this and also I want to delete App I don't want anymore.
    Many thanks in advance for yor help.

    What OS are you using and what photo program, if you are using Mac OS and iPhoto normally you would need to delete the pictures with the program you used to transfer them to your iPad. Or you can go into iTunes a de-select them so that they will not sync with the iPad. 

  • "My Pictures" folder deleted/moved from My Favorites sidebar in Finder – How to retrieve?

    I accidentally moved "My Pictures" folder from the My Favorites sidebar in Finder, and I can no longer find the folder. I've searched "all my files" for a My Pictures folder and nothing has come up, not even in the trash (that I haven't yet emptied). I am wondering if there is anyway of getting this folder back, as I had several pictures and folders organized within that My Pictures folder. All of my pictures are somewhere still on my computer but even they are hard to locate now without them being in any folder. Would be a HUGE pain to have to re-organize every single thing that was in that folder. Please if somebody has a solution, do share! Thank you!!!

    Okay, so I actually just figured it out.... If anybody is wondering/has the same problem with any folder:
    I went into Finder>All my files> Search and typed in "Pictures" and then went to the "gear looking icon" and clicked Search Criteria. Then changed the second option from "Document" to "Folder". (This explains why none of the folders were showing up). I then dragged the following folder back into "Favorites" sidebar. See Pictures attached.
    Thanks for the help anyway.

  • Finder resets itself to default local folder when I delete a folder from a server. How can I stop this?

    Hello there,
    At work I use a Mac Pro (like this one: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-quad-core-2.8-2008-s pecs.html)... and I have a very weird problem that is really annoying.
    I don't have the information (but I can get it tomorrow) on the operating system or any information of the server I am having the issues with. But I was hoping maybe some one else with the same issue might have the answer without all of that information.
    We use the server to access, open, edit, save, delete, move, etc... all of the files we are currently working on.  No files are ever transfered to our local computer's hardrive and then copied back to the server (don't ask me why, and don't tell me to do that, this is how it's done in the office, and this is what I have to do)...
    The issue is this.  When I have to delete a folder from the server, which is usually a folder within a folder, and maybe within another folder, and another, and another (meaning it takes me time to look for this), the Finder deltes the folder (and asks if I am sure I  want to delete it, because it will be deleted forever since I am deleting it from the server)... and when I say yes, the Finder window that I am currently on (the folder which contains the folder that I am deleting) reverts back to the initial "device-folder" for my local mac pro... meaning the folder which is the main folder of that mac pro, where I can see the mac pro's hard drive, any external hardrives, any usb pen drives, any cds, etc...
    So EVERY TIME I delete a folder on the server, which is more than 30 times a day, I get "kicked out" of the foler which contains the folder to be deleted, and gows back to tha "main" folder of my computer, so I have to go back to the server, back to the folder, and sometimes it is a folder, within a folder, within a folder, etc, etc, etc, ... and don't tell me the solution is to create a shortcut on my sidebar for that folder, because the folders are the jobs that I may be working on that day, so I could work on as many as 30 different folders per day, and I do have those in my sidebar, but it is still pretty annoying to have to go back to that folder.
    One thing I noticed... SOMETIMES, not all the times... IF I delete two folders instead of one, it won't do it... or IF I drag the folder to the trash, instead of clicking on my "delete" icon on my finder's toolbar, it won't do it... but this is only SOMETIMES. So these are not the solutions either.
    I can try to get a screen cap tomorrow of the issue, but if anyone has this same issue and knows how to fix it, plese let me know.
    I will also try to get more info on my computers OS and the server.
    Thank you,
    MW
