Finder Sidebar

[Paul75]

Hi,
In the sidebar of my finder I have all the usual 'Applications', 'Downloads', 'Documents', but I've also got 'Inbox'. I can't click or right click on it. Does anyone know what it is or how to get rid of it. I tried removing it from the Preferences but it doesn't show up.
I am currently running lion but also had this issue in snow leopard.

Thanks,
Paul.

Hard to drag something you can't click on. Did you try command-click?

I didn't think I'd be able to drag it either Greg as I can't click on it so initially didn't give it a go. However just tried and it does drag off, but just reappears.
When I command click on it it opens up an new finder window with nothing in the 'Inbox' folder. On the sidebar the 'Inbox' is not highlighted showing it's the active folder like it would if I command-clicked on 'Documents'.

So still no luck.

Since the preferences and dragging it off doesn't work, there might be a permission issue. From Disk Utility, select your main hard drive partition, then try the Verify/Repair Disk Permissions buttons.

I'll give that a go now.

I tried dragging the 'Documents' and 'Downloads' off the finder window as well but they didn't disappear either. Just bounced back to the sidebar.

Name calling won't help.

DEVONthink Pro puts an Inbox in the sidebar. You probably have to turn it off in the app preferences.

To drag off any file/folder in the sidebar, hold down Command key when dragging.

Thanks Diane, the command drag solved it.

Cheers.
