I use Mail's Favorite bar quite often; it is populated with several folders which receive emails based on Rules.
There is one folder however that I simply cannot delete by click/drag. The puff of smoke shows up but the folder remains in the bar.
Anyone have another way of removing stubborn folders?
Thanks.

Hi ! FrankMtl
i have read your question how to remove stubborn folder in the mail side bar , it is really a big concern .
This folder is a smart mail box showing gear icon .
To remove it , select it and right click on it and click on erase deleted items .
A window will appear like this
If you want to erase it , the items inside will be completed deleted , make sure this cannot be undone .
I have found an article : Mail (El Capitan): Create or delete mailboxes
Hope so it would be helpful .
Thanks !
Thanks you both for your answer however, I was not referring to the Sidebar but the Favorites bar which sits beneath the buttons bar in which you can drag folder/mailboxes to access them quickly.
Control-click is not recognized by the items in the Fave bar.
I found the solution:
I emptied the offending mailbox and deleted it (as per both your instructions). Once deleted, I was able to delete the mailbox from the Fave bar by dragging it out; similar to deleting items form the dock.
Below is a pic showing my Fave bar; the stubborn mailbox was Torrnews.
