If you have found that you are unable to remove items from the finder side bar then this is the post for you!
I stumbled upon this issue recently when I was realised that a lot of clients were having this problem, particularly since upgrading their software. After digging deeper into the problem, I have now found a decent solution:
The Normal Way
1. Right click (ctrl + click) on the item you want to remove in the finder sidebar and select ‘remove from sidebar’ option – however thiswhere the problems appear.
My Solution
2. If you drag the item that you want to remove whilst holding down the Command key this will remove it from the sidebar.
