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.
