Can't Delete a Particular Bookmark Folder

Hi

Welcome to Apple Discussions

In the Bookmarks Manager (command/option/B keys), Right or control/click on the History folder you created (not the default one). Select "delete".

You're welcome Lisa.

My bad...sometimes I take computer language for granted. Instead of pressing the command/option/B keys, click on the Book Icon at the far left of the Bookmarks bar. Looks like this:



That accomplishes the same thing.

Hi Lisa

Simply click on the Bookmark icon. Then, when the Bookmarks Manager opens, go to the History folder you created (not the Apple one at the top left), right click on it, then delete.

Hi,

Unless I'm missing something, you are describing the History collection that is intentionally present when looking at the Bookmarks overview page. It is supposed to be there (assuming you are seeing only the one History entry as shown here):

Hi Lisa

The folder with the clock icon is automatically created by Safari. I thought you said you made a second folder. There's nothing you have to do with the first one. If you want to minimize the number of history items in that folder, either clear your History by using the Safari Reset in the Safari Menu (to the right of the Apple icon at the top left of the screen). In the reset panel, only check History, then select "reset". That zeros the history file. As you visit sites it repopulates.

To manage the History, go to the Safari Menu>Preferences option. In the General panel, there's a drop down menu for setting a specific time frame for days history is retained. Minimum is one day.

Let me know if that makes sense to you.
