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.

    This conversation is from 6 years ago and is talking about an operating system (XP) that came out in 2001 - more than a decade and a half ago.

    So yea, of course it doesn't work in Edge -- Edge wasn't even a dream in our eyes when we were talking about this.

    This discussion is talking about Windows XP from more than 14 years ago.  Windows 10 didn't even exist when we started this discussion.  So it's obvious that it won't work the same way as a 14-year-old post.

    If you have a question about Windows 10, please don't post in the Windows XP section.
