Finder side bar - - drag & drop

Hi all,


I'm trying to organise the side bar after restoring my folders, but the **** things won't drop and stay dropped where they're dropped.

They would drag & drop fine before so it's frustrating to say the least!


I've tried holding down command as suggested in other threads and google'd but nothing seems to work.


Any advice on how to do this? thanks

No need to hold command key while dragging. It sounds like it may be some wonky Finder preferences.


From your Finder "Go" menu > "Go to folder" then copy & paste this file path:

~/Library/Preferences

Click Go.

Find and delete com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.sidebarlists.plist

Then, restart, or log out and in again.

(You may have to reset some Finder preferences the way you like them)
