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.

    I'm new to Windows 10. I have been using a Mac for the last 8 years or so. I found your answer to be the best. Thanks!

    I DO NOT HAVE A " FAVORITE ORGANIZER"  ON MY MICROSOFT EDGE. I AM NOT COMPUTER SMART SO MAYBE YOU CAN GO STEP BY STEP WITH ME, LIKE I AM FIVE YEARS OLD.

          1-USE THE LEFT CLICKER OR BUTTON AND GO ______________

           2-GO TO ____________ AND USE THE RIGHT CLICKER OR BUTTON

           3-USE LEFT CLICKER OR BUTTON AND GO TO______________

           4-ETC.

    I AND EVERYONE I KNOW CAN NOT READ ANYTHING WE PUT IN OUR FAVORITE CATAGORY IN THE FOLDERS WE MADE, SO WE CAN READ THEM LATER OR REFER BACK TO THEM. WE ALSO CAN NOT DELETE ANYTHING IN THE FOLDER TITLE IN FAVORITES,   EXAMPLE:    I PUT SOMETHING IN THE WRONG TITLE FOLDER, OR IF I MISPELLED A WORD ON THE TITLE OF THE FOLDER.

    NO ONE I KNOW CAN UNDERSTAND WHATEVER WE FIND, AND NONE OF US CAN FIND THE                         " FAVORITE ORGANIZER",  PLEASE TELL US STEP BY STEP WHERE IT IS, ALSO CAN YOU TELL US STEP BY STEP HOW TO DELETE THINGS IN THE FAVORITE BOX. PLEASE LIKE WE ARE FIVE YEARS OLD TELL US. THANK YOU.

    WE ALSO NEED A POP-UP BLOCKER ON THE PAGES, IF IT WAS NOT FOR MY  "NORTON"  I WOULD HAVE HAD A FEW VIRUSES AND A COUPLE OF CRASHES. SO, PLEASE HELP EVERYONE WITH THESE TWO PROBLEMS. WE ARE ALL SENIOR CITIZENS AND WE DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT COMPUTERS. THANK YOU.

    SINCERELY,
