Duplicate external disks in sidebar The Finder sidebar under locations and external disks show duplicate drive names - see image below. In researching found that in previous version of Mac OS there was a preference file that could be deleted and then reset by rebooting. Currently running Ventura 13.4.1 on a2017 27" iMac and I cannot find the preference file. At a loss now and your help would be appreciated. Thank you Dan

From macOS Sierra and newer use the keyboard shortcut Shift, Command, . (period).

The terminal command is this;

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE;killall Finder

not the command you have listed.

With the release of OS X El Capitan, Apple finally decided to remove support for Disk Utilities hidden debug menu. This means the Terminal commands outlined below will only work for versions of OS X Yosemite and earlier.
