For some reason, on the left side of the Finder, it shows "untitled dvd" with a burn icon and when I click on it, it says it cannot be found. How can I remove this?

I think when I was using Toast it caused it...
 
I'm bumping a very old thread, but this problem is now happening to me. Scouring the internet suggests the same drag and drop, use disk utility, create a new folder and add that, then delete it.

Sadly none of these work. I've relaunched finder, restarted, put a new DVD in and ejected that but nothing wants to work.

Anyone have any ideas? (Or any clever terminal code?)

Cheers

I've tried both of those, and neither of those work either. I drag the folder off of the finder side bar but the "puff of smoke" symbol doesn't appear and releasing the mouse just flings it back on to the side bar.

I can't drag it to the trash either. Simply clicking it doesn't open anything up either - nor does it give anything like a "folder not found" message.

Edit: I hadn't tried Command THEN click. Which worked. Thanks a lot :)
 
Thank you so much! I was having the same problem...not being able to delete an "untitled DVD" from the sidebar in Finder. I was just about to give up when I read your "command THEN click" instruction! :)

Thanks again!
 
I'm having the same problem and none of these are helping me. Command click doesn't do anything. Control click opens a gives me an option to "open sidebar preferences." It won't let me drag at all. Any suggestions?
 
yay! this worked for me!!

I tried command and clicking a few times, but nothing happened.. but it was prob the way/sequence i was doing it in, finally i was able to trash the menu option!!

what would i do without this forum?! thanks smart people!
