Still can't delete (Bookmark) folders in Safari

I think I found an answer. Open a new Safari window. At the window's top left corner, under the red/yellow/green buttons, is a grid of dots. Clicking on that grid will bring up all your folders. Hold down your mouse button while pointing at the folder you want to delete to get the pop-up options that include DELETE! Yahoo, done! AND, if you want to delete a sub-folder, click on the folder containing the sub-folder. Again, as above, hold down your mouse button while pointing at that sub-folder you want to delete to get the pop-up options that include DELETE!

I think I figured it out . . .

Back out of Bookmarks to this screen:

Click on the Untitled folder there and the context menu (ellipsis) lets you delete it. [Not to confuse you, I also intentionally deleted the other tab you see there between screen shots.]

I just stumbled on this while trying to solve the same problem so I hope it works for you. Other answers weren't differentiating bookmarks from folders of bookmarks. I recreated the issue for myself, creating another untitled folder by clicking on the overlapping boxes with the + on them, and then deleted it again. Try this and see if it gets rid of your untitled folders for you.

Hello DLWorldCitizen,

We have steps for deleting a bookmark folder in Safari on your Mac mini. Here is a resource from the Safari User Guide that goes through deleting a bookmark, but the process is similar for a bookmark folder:

Delete a bookmark in Safari on Mac

1. Open the Safari app.
2. Click the Sidebar button in the toolbar.
3. Choose Bookmarks.
4. Control-click on the folder you wish to delete.

• This is also known as "right click" depending on your mouse settings.

5. Choose Delete.

As for your "PS" asking why there are two devices connected to your name, we want to clarify what you are referring to. Where are you seeing two devices? Are you looking at devices associated with your Apple ID or another location?

We look forward to hearing back from you.

Take care.

I just removed a Safari 16 .4 (macOS 13.3.1 (a)) bookmark folder by right-clicking on it, and choosing Delete from the corresponding contextual menu. Wasn't impossible for me, and worked on first try.

To delete a folder I just two-finger click on my touchpad and choose delete from the context menu. There does not seem to be a way to delete "Tab Group Favorites", however.

Screen shot would help as I have no "grid of dots" on my Mac in upper left corner under the colored buttons. However, to delete a folder I just two-finger click on my touchpad and choose delete from the context menu. However, for the "Tab Group Favorites" others would like to delete, I can't delete this on mine either. It's possible that it is built-in and cannot be deleted.

hello, I don't know whether you still have the problem or not, but I had same too and the solution is simple you can either press ⇧⌘B, or you can go in "view" menu in the top bar in safari, and then click hide favourite bar. it will fix your problem.

I'm also having the problem of deleting a folder called Tab Group Favourites. I have followed your instructions with no success at all. I've tried multiple ways of deleting this folder but nothing works. The above method works with bookmarks but not this folder.

Please let me know if you can work this out as it's very frustrating.

Thanks very much :)

I have tried your suggested "delete bookmark in Safari on Mac" repeatedly. It never works.

Not for me. Tried multiple times. They magically reappear when I turn my computer back on.

I want to delete the favorites not hide them. Anyone..help?

I have tried also not for me either

This does not work.
