I have a "favorites" listed on my toolbar, but there are several items in it that I would like to delete.  But ... I don't know how to.  Would someone please tell me how, in a language an elderly, non computer savy, person could understand?  Thank you kindly!

Right-click any item, and a 'Delete' option should be near the bottom of the menu that appears.

Another method you may try:

1)  Click on "Favorites" (in the upper tool bar)

2)  Select "Organize Favorites"

3)  A small window will open where all of your

    favorites are listed. 

    Click on the item to be removed to highlight it,

    then Click on the Delete button at the bottom.

4)  The Organize Favorites window will remain open

     to allow more items to be deleted.

    Certainly shouldn't happen, but the first thing I'd try to get it to stop is going to Edge settings and turning off the sync favorites option - my guess would be it keeps coming back from that.

    I've had some issues too - like folders in my favorites bar splitting into duplicates with the favorites inside scattered into the various identically-named folders, or favorites not syncing.

    I saw in the news this week that apparently the recent reorganization of the company is bringing more engineers to Edge, I sure hope so.  It's come a long way for sure, and in 1803 I've even left it as my default, but it still has a lot of things to resolve

    I have done this several times. It deletes, and then the next time I pull up my favorites, they're back. How do you delete them for good?
