It can be depending on your preferences. From the finder which is sort of the desk top and you can get to it with cmd tab do the following,
hit cmd cahma. 2. Check the stuff you want to show up like hard drives and stuff. 3. Interact wight he tool bar with vo shift down arrow and go to the side bar tab. 4. Press the side bar button with vo space and stop interacting with the tool bar. Uncheck the stuff you don't want to see. I unchecked everything as i don't use the side bar. 5. Close the window with cmd w. Good luck.
