Hi mycrowdott,

I understand you want to delete items from the My Favorites section.

To help identify the correct solution, could you clarify where you see the "My Favorites" section (for example, File Explorer, Outlook, Microsoft Edge, or another app)?

In the meantime, if you are referring to File Explorer Favorites/Home in Windows, you can usually remove an item by:

Open File Explorer.
In the "Favorites" or "Home" section, right‑click the item you want to remove.
Select "Remove from Favorites" or "Unpin from Quick Access".
The original file or folder will remain in its original location; only the shortcut is removed.

Please let me know which Microsoft product or app contains the "My Favorites" section, and I'll provide more specific steps.

Thank you for the info, I know you can delete them thru my favorites one at a time, but I was looking to delete all of them at once and being I do not have google chrome I have Microsoft edge that is impossible. And its an old computer and a spare of mine that I have had since the 90s and it won`t download google chrome because that computer is Windows 7...... LoL But thank you for reaching out

Hi mycrowdott,

I understand. Thank you for the additional information.

Since you're using an older Windows 7 computer, I also want to note that Windows 7 reached end of support several years ago, so some newer browser features and options may not be available.

Based on what you've described, it sounds like you're referring to browser favorites/bookmarks. Unfortunately, most browsers, including Microsoft Edge, do not provide a built-in option to delete all favorites at once through the Favorites menu. Items typically need to be removed individually unless you can access the underlying favorites folder and manually delete its contents.

To make sure we're discussing the same "My Favorites" section, could you clarify which browser or application these favorites are stored in? For example, are they in Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, or another program on the Windows 7 PC?

With that information, we can see whether a bulk removal method is available for that specific application.
