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.

    the upper tool bar has a selection that appears to be a shooting star. When selected it offers a number of folders titled to show its contents. How does one delete the web site in the folder. When one pauses the select arrow over the star on the tool bar a frame opens that says: "HUB(favorites, books, downloads etc.)"  How do I edit/delete these web addfresses?

    I mentioned it earlier that you might be using a different system than we are talking about here, and from your latest reply I am now sure of it.  You are using the Edge browser on Windows 10 (from the year 2018), but we're discussing Windows XP from the year 2001 in this conversation.  So the information we're giving you here won't really help you or apply to your computer.

    We have dedicated sections of this answers website for each, so you could ask your question in the Windows 10 / Edge browser section of this website instead of this very old conversation from nearly a decade ago.  I'm sure all the previous people would also appreciate not receiving all these irrelevant email notices about new posts that have nothing to do with Windows XP or Internet Explorer.

    But really, no matter what browser you're using, right-clicking will always get you what you want to do.

    Here's a quick video I just recorded to show some details:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5ddzZh-xfI

    If it's still not working, here's the section of this answers site for Windows 10/Edge questions.
