Duplicate items in Sidebar

For the last few months, I have had duplicate items show in the sidebar:

I have tried:
- Restarting
- killall Finder
- Removing the items manually
- Trashing the com.apple.sidebars.plist file

Nothing seems to work - any suggestions?

For duplicates on side bar and save as menu.

1. Drag all icons off bottom of your Finder sidebar.
2. In Finder >> Preferences >> Sidebar UNcheck all options.
3. navigate to ~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist


Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
