I uninstalled Firefox and started using IE 11. I imported my saved HTML bookmarks into IE. ONE folder used "***" (asterisks) in the title of the folder. When it was imported into IE, the "***" were replaced with "spaces", since IE cannot use that type of character as part of the title.

i.e. I titled the folder "***Flight Planning***". IE cannot use "***". So it now looks like " Flight Planning ". Just spaces. I tried renaming, deleting, and re-importing. It won't delete.

When I try to deleting it says "This is no longer located in c:\users\~...~\Favorites\". When I try renaming it, it says "This is no longer located in c:\users\~...~\Favorites\" or "could not find this item".

How do I delete it?

This is a support forum for Firefox and Thunderbird. If the following doesn't answer your question, ask on the appropriate forum:

Internet Explorer keeps favorites as individual .URL files. You should be able to delete the file manually.

  1. Exit Internet Explorer.
  2. Click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar to bring up the Start Menu.
  3. In the top right corner, right-click your user name and choose Open.
  4. In the Windows Explorer window that opened, open the Favorites folder.
  5. Delete the favorite you want to get rid of.

You clearly didn't read what I put above. This reads like a scripted response. I tried THAT. It WON'T delete manually. I need a REGEDIT or other forced method to get a folder within Favorites to delete. I found the problem. That was easy. Finding a solution is NOT. Help?

It was all painstakingly typed manually. I've read that you tried removing the favorite from inside Internet Explorer. I see no mention that you tried opening the Favorites folder in Windows Explorer and deleting the .URL file from there.

As far as I know, only the location of the Favorites folder is stored in the registry, not the favorites themselves. As I said, this is a Firefox support forum and if the above doesn't solve your problem, you should refer to the Internet Explorer support forum.
