How to Remove Stubborn Safari Sidebar Bookmarks
Safari sidebar items can come from Favourites, Reading List, history or iCloud, so remove the source rather than only editing bookmarks.
Step-by-Step Fix:
- Show the sidebar: Open Safari and choose View > Show Sidebar.
- Check each section: Look under Favourites, Reading List, Recently Added and History for the item.
- Delete from the source: Control-click the entry and choose Delete, or open Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks for normal favourites.
- Sync cleanly: If it returns, disable and re-enable Safari in iCloud after confirming another device is not restoring the item.
Final check: Change one thing at a time, reboot, and keep a copy of the last working EFI before the next test.
Original Question: "How to Delete a Bookmark?"
The "Edit Bookmarks" option does not include items in the left column of the browser page such as "recently added." There is no Delete function listed and the items are not listed in the "Favorites" bookmark listing. Cannot find how to delete a specific bookmark in the left-hand column of Safari (version 26.5). How do I get rid of such items?
