The usual way is to hold down the Command key and drag it out.

Hi Joe,
No one has suggested this, so... nothing like starting at the beginning.
Assuming I understand the problem correctly, does this work?
- In the Finder's Finder menu, select Preferences
- Click the Sidebar icon at the top of the resulting window
- Uncheck the items you want to remove
Hi everyone,
A long time ago, I managed to make an item in the sidebar so that it has no
alias to which it points. It just sits there taking up space. Is there anyway
that I can remove it. I've tried everything I know that might work.
Thanks,
Joe Wilkins
Dragging it out of the sidebar does not work?

Hi Joe,
I could try to give you some ideas, but you have probably tried that already.
So, what have you tried so far, that we shouldn't bother you with anymore?

Thanks Bob, but that doesn't work; even while holding down any combination of
keys.

It seems to indicate that command-drag the icon should work and there's also
a work round involving trashing the finder plist file.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Pete. Trashing the Finder pList sounds promising once I find it.
(smile). I already tried the command/drag bit. NG.

Open a terminal window. Navigate to your user preferences folder using cd
~/Library/Preferences. type open com.apple.sidebarlists.plist. (I use PListEdit
Pro so it's easy for me but TextEdit will also work if you are careful.) Under
Root/useritems/CustomListItems inspect each key to find
BTW You might just check to see what your permissions to the file are. If you
do not have Read/Write to that file, then something got hosed somewhere and
repairing permissions is in order.

Terminal says it doesn't exist. I tried it a couple of times.

Joe, that is not where the file is. The ~ in the path I gave you means Current
User's Profile Folder. So the path to the file is in ~/Library/Preferences.
That is why I said to type in a terminal window:
cd ~/LibraryPreferences
cd mean Change Directory.
If you like, go to the Finder Menu and
Bob, I trashed the pList as you suggested. On restarting a new one was created,
but the item I was trying to eliminate was there again, so I recovered the old
pList from the trash. Any chance I should have dumped the trash before
restarting?

Thanks Bob. You are so right, and I'm reluctant to move anything for fear of

diddle around a bit and maybe find the problem. It may have to
Hey guys, I may have trashed the wrong pList; fortunately I did replace it
later on. Now I'll look for the right one and it'll probably work OK. I'll let
you know.
Tanks,

Nope. The system will not look in the trash for a file it needs. This is very
odd. I am not aware of any other place where the Finder keeps those
preferences. Just for kicks and grins, try creating a new account and then log
into it. Does that sidebar show you the same file? If so, then it is
Fixed, got rid of it along with a lot of other stuff I really didn't use much
any more. So, good!
Thanks Fellas!

Hi Joe,
Sorry this is still not working. What version of OS X are you on? I've
seen numerous references to using command-drag to get rid of these orphaned
sidebar icons so not sure why it's not working for you. I just tried it on
my Mac and it worked fine ( OS X 10.6.8)
