covenant Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I had created a "Download" folder that was linked (using ln) to another drive in my system. I removed that drive and deleted the symlink. However, the shortcut in Finder was still there (right under Applications where I'd put it). When I click on the shortcut it says "The volume for "Download" cannot be found." Well that's to be expected, since I deleted it. Unfortunately, there's now no way to get rid of that shortcut I can find. When I drag it to the trash, it disappears from the finder window - until I open a new finder window, when it is back. It never appears to actually go to the trash either - I guess since it doesn't really "exist" except as an icon stuck forever in my Finder shortcuts. Anyone know how I can rid myself of this annoyance? Nevermind, did more searches and found a solution: http://sonicchicken.net/blog/wordpress/200...annot-be-found/ Updating this post so people know the fix. Just wipe out com.apple.sidebarlists.plist or edit it with the property list editor to remove the offending dead link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
