This is driving me nuts. I have no idea what it is or how it got in my Finder sidebar, but I can't drag it to the trash. How can I get rid of it?

Generally, I've found that if you press the cmd button, and whist keeping it held down, click on the item and drag it out of the sidebar, it disappears with a comforting "whoosh".

That was almost TOO easy. :Smirk:

Glad it worked. I have a simple mind, hence simple solution. Pass it on.
