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.

    When I imported my Favorites from IE11, one item came in almost 800 times.  Is there a way to bulk delete?  In IE11 Get Organized, you could highlight a group of items & then delete them.  This doesn't seem possible in Edge.

    I'm having the same problem with Edge.  I right click them and a remove flag appears but nothing happens when I click on it.

    That does not work in Microsoft Edge.  I go to the favorites, right click on the favorite I want to delete, and nothing happens.  Its a dead-link that wont go away.
